Shareholders of “Riga Shipyard” approve the new Council, Board and development goals
On Friday, 25 April, the annual
shareholders’ meeting of joint-stock company “Riga Shipyard” (Rīgas
kuģu būvētava) took place. It reviewed the company’s annual results
of 2013, as well as answers to shareholder questions, including
about the internal audit of the company, which is still on-going.
The aim of the audit is to identify possible financial violations,
which may have been committed by some of the former members of the
Council and Board of “Riga Shipyard”.
There is a legal dispute between
“Riga Shipyard” and several contractors, which is being dealt with
by the court in the order set out in law. The dispute was caused by
reasonable suspicions that contractors have not fully completed a
number of works.
The shareholders’ meeting confirmed that the company is not
experiencing liquidity problems and is capable of covering its
commitments to its creditors.
Vasilijs Meļņiks stepped down from the post of Chairman of the
Board of “Riga Shipyard” and was instead elected as the Chairman of
the Council. Henceforth, he will be in charge of the strategic
development of the company.
“The work of the Council is more
focused on everyday organisational issues. I was forced to spend
the past two years on business trips attracting new partners and
seeking possibilities to develop new prospective projects. Now I
will be able to use all of my experience and energy in implementing
new operational directions of “Riga Shipyard” – participation in
the construction of oil and gas drilling systems, participation in
assembly of parts of drilling platforms, construction and delivery
of patrol vessels,” says Meļņiks, Chairman of the Council of “Riga
Shipyard”.
For the first time a
representative of the minority shareholders has also been elected
to the Council, and this post will be held by attorney Linards
Baumanis. “This is clear proof that the company is willing to work
transparently and will take into consideration the interests of all
of its shareholders. We hope to have successful cooperation with
all of the members of the Council,” Meļņiks
said.
The Council formed a new Board, which will be chaired by the
well-known entrepreneur Jānis Skvarnovičs.
“Riga Shipyard” has actively
begun the new season – ships from Scandinavia and Cyprus are being
repaired, new contracts for ship repairs are being signed. As
previously reported, a protocol of intent was recently concluded on
cooperation with a Singaporean company, which will allow “Riga
Shipyard” to participate in the construction of oil and gas
drilling systems in its territory.
The newly elected Council consists of Gaidis Andrejs Zeibots,
Vasilijs Meļņiks, Valentīna Andrejeva, Aleksandrs Čerņavskis and
Linards Baumanis.
Meanwhile the Board consists of
Jānis Skvarnovičs, Vladislavs Blūms, Einārs Buks, Rolands Klincis
and Jekaterina Meļņika.
