Norway's Boa Offshore has survived another legal bid to halt a payment owed to it by a Ukrainian billionaire in a cancelled newbuilding row.

The offshore vessel owner said Norway's Sor-Trondelag district court had dismissed an application to stop the handover of $12.7m.

The cash was due from Ukrainian tycoon Kostyantyn Zhevago's Luxembourg holding company Fevamotinoco after a Supreme Court ruling in Norway in February.
