Un responsable de Safmarine & Rennies Holdings Ltd a officiellement admis que son groupe avait payé 55 millions de dollars, soit un peu plus de 2 milliards de BEF, pour cette participation. La transaction porte également sur les 51% détenus par CMB dans CMBT Investments.

    The row came as the dispute between the Australian Institute of Marine & Power Engineers and the Australian Maritime Safety Authority boiled over.

    The vessel is now working in New Zealand waters.

    Mr Coombs said the "dead hand" of the Minister had intervened to stall agreement over the content of documents to end the waterfront dispute.
    He said agreement on the documentation had been close several times but thwarted by Mr Reith's intervention.
