A company ordered to pay a refund to Boa Offshore over a newbuilding cancellation is fighting the award in court.

Boa said Fevamotinico has served a writ against subsidiary Boa IMR in the Sor-Trondelag district court to set aside an arbitration decision against it last October.

"The claim will be contested by Boa IMR," Boa said.

The arbitration decision awarded Boa $13m relating to a shipbuilding contract torn up in September 2015 at Noryards Fosen.
