KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 19 — Cruise operator Genting Hong Kong said today it has filed to be wound up, about a week after its German shipbuilding subsidiaries went bankrupt, after the coronavirus pandemic hammered the industry.
In a statement to the Hong Kong stock exchange, the company said it had lodged a court filing to appoint provisional liquidators. The news came after Genting’s German shipbuilding subsidiaries, MV Werften and Lloyd Werft, filed for bankruptcy earlier this month.
