IAG MAR 2022年3月 亞博匯 16 LIQUIDATORS APPOINTED TO GENTING HONG KONG’S DREAM CRUISES 雲頂香港星夢郵 輪獲委任清盤人 GENTING HONG KONG has confirmed the appointment of joint provisional liquidators to its Asian-based cruise ship subsidiary Dream Cruises. The liquidators are the same as those recently appointed to oversee Genting Hong Kong, after the company failed to access US$88 million in funding from authorities in Germany to continue the operation of its German shipyards and fulfil agreements with creditors. The provisional liquidators, named as Edward Middleton and Tiffany Wong Wing Sze of Hong Kong’s Alvarez & Marsal Asia Limited and Edward Whittaker of R&H Services Limited in Bermuda, have been tasked with helping to develop and propose a restructuring proposal in respect of Genting Hong Kong’s debts, which include almost US$2.8 billion that formed part of financing arrangements reached with creditors in June last year. In a filing, Genting Hong Kong said those same liquidators have now been appointed to Dream Cruises to, “amongst other things, develop and propose any restructuring proposal in respect of Dream Cruises’ debts and liabilities.” The company had also filed a winding up order for Dream Cruises last week but said Tuesday it hoped restructuring would allow the company to continue as a going concern. Management of both Genting Hong Kong and Dream Cruises are now in discussions with the liquidators to assess the financial condition of the company and the Dream sub-group and to identify potential remediation plans. Dream Cruises boasts three ships in its fleet, with sailings out of Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan. 雲頂香港 已確認為其亞洲郵輪子公司星夢郵輪任命聯席臨時清盤 人。 該清盤人已多次獲得委任，早因該公司未能從德國當局獲得 8,800萬美元資金以繼續營運其位於德國船廠，以及無法履行與 債權人協議的時候，亦是委任這位清盤人。。 獲委任為聯席臨時清盤人的是安邁顧問Edward Simon Middleton及黃詠詩、R&H Services Limited的Edward Alexander Niles Whittaker，他們的職責是幫助制定及提出有關雲頂香港債 務的重組方案，包括一項去年6月與債權人達成的近28億美元的 融資安排。 雲頂香港在一份文件中表示，這些清盤人現在也被​任命為星 夢郵輪的臨時清盤人，以「擬定及提出星夢郵輪債務及負債的任 何重組建議」。 該公司還同時提交了星夢郵輪的清盤申請，但仍表示希望重 組公司，繼續經營下去。 聯席臨時清盤人正與公司及星夢郵輪管理層團隊磋商，以緊 急評估公司及星夢郵輪附屬集團的財務狀況，以及確認可行的補 救計劃。星夢郵輪旗下擁有三艘郵輪，分別從新加坡、香港和台 灣出發。
