Yiulan Shipyard sells accomodation vessel after Jasper fails to take delivery

Yiulan Shipyard sells accomodation vessel after Jasper fails to take delivery
Singapore-listed Jasper Investments is selling converted accommodation semi-submersible vessel at Yiulian Shipyard for $75.6m to Alyar Offshore after it failed to take delivery due to insufficient funds.

Singapore-based Alyar Offshore has signed Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to buy the Jasper Cosmopolitan after Yiulian Shipyard exercised its right to sell the vessel under the contract.

The $75.6m price tag is well below a tabletop valuation of $160m. Of the $75.6m in proceeds $73.6m will be paid to Yiulian Shipyard, covering an agreed balance $68.7m, the costs of the sale, and 25% of the remaining balance.

Japser will retain an expected balance of $2m to be used as working capital. The company will book a $52.7m loss on the sale.
