Nearly a year after commencing a tender process and suffering a few false starts, it appears Connecticut-based pools power Heidmar is finally on the verge of selling the company.

Expect US-based financial firm Fortress to emerge with full control of the company when the deal is announced near term, according to sources familiar with the process.

The main change from last reports in March is that current 49% owner George Economou, the Greek shipowner, is no longer expected to snap up the full company.
