Holland Norway Lines (2) – Declared bankrupt
The court in Groningen declared Holland Norway Lines BV (HNL) bankrupt (4 September 2023). The bankruptcy was requested in consultation with trustee Hans Silvius and the management of HNL. Hans Silvius has been appointed as the curator.
The reason for proceeding with the bankruptcy application is that no potential candidate has come forward for the takeover of Holland Norway Lines since the company applied for a suspension of payments last week (35). The employees of HNL in both Norway and the
Netherlands have been informed by the management of HNL. Although at this point only Holland Norway Lines BV has filed for bankruptcy, it is expected that the subsidiaries in the group will file for bankruptcy within short, as there is no longer prospects for continued operations.
