Havila Shipping chief executive Njaal Saevik says he believes banks in general have not changed their overall perspectives on offshore restructurings — even if they played extreme hardball with Havila’s bondholders this week.

On Monday, more than a two-thirds majority of Oslo-listed Havila’s bondholders finally agreed to its restructuring after a gruelling 13 months of haggling over at least three officially rejected plans, although a number of proposals never made it to the voting stage.
