Prosafe SE: Prosafe wins Westcon dispute regarding the TSV Safe Scandinavia conversion
Stavanger City Court has made a favourable decision in the court case regarding
the TSV Safe Scandinavia - Westcon dispute.
The dispute between Westcon Yards AS (Westcon) and Prosafe was related to a
substantial cost overrun of Westcon's price estimate for the conversion of the
Safe Scandinavia to a tender support vessel at Westcon. Westcon claimed an
additional compensation of approx. NOK 306 million plus interest, whereas
Prosafe disputed Westcon's claim and claimed a substantial repayment.
The Court gave judgement in favour of Prosafe, and has decided that Westcon must
repay Prosafe NOK 344 million plus interest and NOK 10.6 million legal costs.
"We are very pleased to note that the Stavanger City Court has decided in our
favour in practically all respects. The judgement represents full repayment of
the amount claimed", says Jesper K. Andresen, CEO of Prosafe.
Prosafe is a leading owner and operator of semi-submersible accommodation
vessels. The Company is headquartered in Larnaca, Cyprus and listed on the Oslo
Stock Exchange with ticker code PRS. For more information, please refer to
