Kjell Inge Rokke-controlled shipowner Ocean Yield is facing another headache over its costly unemployed floating production storage and offloading vessel.
The Oslo-listed sale-and-leaseback specialist said its subsidiary Aker Contracting has received a notice from Indian authorities regarding a potential tax claim related to a previous contract for the 214,266-cbm Dhirubhai-1 (built 1979).
"Aker Contracting disputes the claim [and] has obtained legal advice supporting their position and the matter will be referred to in Indian courts," Ocean Yield added.
