Croatia's biggest shipbuilding group is heading into liquidation.

Creditors decided in a meeting at the Commercial Court in Pazin on Wednesday that holding company Uljanik will be wound up.

The company controls Uljanik Shipyard and other units. Another group shipbuilder, 3 Maj, has not been part of the bankruptcy proceedings.

Pula-based Uljanik did not meet the conditions needed to resume operation, according to official receiver Marija Ruzic.
