Dieppe yard shuts down
The activities of the Manche Industrie Marine (MIM) shipyard in Dieppe have come to an end as a commercial court has ruled the company is to be wound up. The state of MIM’s finances are such that it owes €647,000 in unpaid rent to Ports de Normandie, in addition to other debts. The yard has claimed that despite numerous requests, the owners of the site failed to carry out essential repairs to the yard’s slipway and the roof of its fabrication hall. Although the company had initially stated that the shutdown at the Dieppe site would be temporary, the compulsory winding-up order appears to have ended any such ideas. The company has stated that its activities will continue at its locations in Fécamp and Rouen that are part of the FIPAM Group. This hasn’t gone down well with the Dieppe yard’s thirty staff, who are now out of a job. more, >>CLICK TO READ<< 07:36
