COSCO Corp. and European owner agree to extend delivery date for a bulk carrier
The Board of Directors of COSCO Corporation (Singapore) Limited on Dec. 15 announced that COSCO (Zhoushan) Shipyard Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of the Company’s 51% owned subsidiary, COSCO Shipyard Group Co., Ltd., has agreed to extend the time for delivery of one (1) unit of bulk carrier from 2Q of 2017 to 2Q of 2018. The extension was agreed upon at the request of the European shipowner and taking into account the current unfavourable market conditions.
In view of the rescheduling and the uncertainty as to when the shipowners will take delivery of the bulk carrier, it is not possible to ascertain the financial impact of the agreement for rescheduling at this point in time.
The Company will make announcements of any significant development in this matter at the appropriate junctures.
