The Higher Economic Court decided on May 13 to reverse the Nikolayev Regional Economic Court’s decision of November 1, 2013, that declared the Okean shipyard (Nikolayev) bankrupt and launched liquidation proceedings. The UNIAN news agency reported this, citing the press service of the Nikolayev regional administration.
The case has reached the asset administration stage.
