A long-running investigation by the Korea Fair Trade Commission (KFTC) into the commercial practices of France's GTT will be heard in a Seoul court on Wednesday.

The South Korean government watchdog agency had been looking into the cargo containment system designer's dealings with the country's shipbuilders.

GTT said the court date comes after the KFTC issued a "confidential examiner report" setting out the preliminary conclusions of its case team following the investigation.
