Maersk Dispute Hits UK Firm

摘要

UK engineering firm and offshore contractor SLP has been put into administration. SLP has been embroiled in a significant contractual dispute and claims from Denmark's Maersk Oil over a previous major construction project for Qatar, which put it under financial strain as the recession continued. Stephen Oldfield, a partner at Pricewaterhouse Coopers, Chris Pillar and Mark Shires were appointed joint administrators of SLP and subsidiaries on Friday.
