Romania to become majority owner of Daewoo Mangalia shipyard

Romania has reached an agreement with Dutch group Damen Shipyards to become the majority shareholder in Daewoo Mangalia Heavy Industries (DMHI) shipyard by acquiring a 2% stake in the shipyard held by the Dutch group, the country’s economy ministry said. In November, Damen entered into an agreement with Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) to buy its 51% share in DMHI for an undisclosed sum. However, the new agreement between Romania and Damen stipulates that state-owned 2 Mai S.A Mangalia will renounce its preference rights on the shares held by DSME in DMHI, while Damen will transfer a 2% stake to 2 Mai S.A, the economy ministry said in a press release on Thursday.
