Rami Ungar bids for Gdanska shipyard

Rami Ungar, the owner of Ray Car Carriers in Israel, has submitted an offer to buy Stocznia Gdanska shipyard which is looking for a private investor. The yard is trying to become independent from its owner, Stocznia Gdynia and, according to “Puls Biznesu” sources, Rami Ungar made a strong bid for the yard which is building seventeen car carriers for the Israeli owner.

Stocznia Gdanska Holding, a company founded by the shipyard?s employees, as well as a consortium of Agencja Rozwoju Przemyslu state agency and Energa energy distributor have also submitted their offers to buy the yard. The Gdansk shipyard would seem to prefer a consortium of employees and ARP as an investor. The offers of ARP and employees amount to PLN 13-16m (EUR 3.9m). According to estimates of Stocznia Gdynia, Stocznia Gdanska is worth PLN 80m and “PB” sources claim Rami Ungar?s offer may be close to this amount.
