Court approves bunker supplier’s request to restructure Nanjing Tanker

Court approves bunker supplier’s request to restructure Nanjing Tanker
A Chinese court in Nanjing announced on Wednesday that it has approved a request by bunker supplier Tianjin Huifeng Energy to restructure the delisted Nanjing Tanker Corporation (NJTC), the oil tanker arm of state-owned Sinotrans & CSC Group.

Tianjin Huifeng Energy had applied to the court on 10 July to restructure NJTC as the shipowner has failed to pay back bunkering fees amounting to RMB19.45m ($3.13m).

Formerly listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, NJTC is the first state-owned enterprise to get delisted after it chalked up four consecutive years of net losses.

In the first quarter, NJTC continued to post a loss of RMB255.51m, narrowing from a deficit of RMB359.41m in the same period of last year.
