Sea France bankrupt
« on: November 16, 2011, 23:40:27 »

a france court in paris has the france company seafrance declared bankrupt.
Two bids on the company, with over 1,000 employees were dismissed because they were deemed too low.

SeaFrance ferries sail until late January between Calais and Dover.
 Potential buyers can bid on December 12 to the company.SeaFrance was in 2008 in the financial difficulties of the crisis. Last year the company was placed under guardianship.

I am not an economics expert but I think there's a very wide and deep recession underway, it doesn't serve anything to play blind as the media wants. It seems this recession will definitely influence transport and aviation too. Where will fired bankers and marketers fly too for their orgy parties ? Which luxurious hotels will they book to worship their filth? Who will buy zillions of stock and property if they loose their humongous salaries ?

Who will pay pensions to the next decade retirees now that their savings have became "stock market smoke"?
What cargo demand will there exist when people loose their properties and their jobs?
Blame it on Greece, Angola or Zambia, there seems the wrong concept of corrupt economic development, based on drugs smuggling, weapon trade, oil overpricing and so on comes soon to it's end. People with "clean hands" should have nothing to worry, it's only gonna be for them a temporary shock. People with clean hands, more or less, exist in all corners of the earth and need to trust in each other. Just realize it's not the greeks or the zambians the true enemy. It is the corruption of "some greeks", "some zambians" some americans", "some chinese" and so on. People with "clean hands", and there's many of them, are gonna be the ones to keep the Earth turning.
Time for the planet to take another damp so it can rise happy in the new century.

DFDS and LDA are potential bidders. Guess they gonna pump up their offer - or they will slip into the gap after Seafrance says Good Bye in January next year. I can't believe, that the employee can cover it on their own. :-\

Its a shame really, its going to be interesting to see which companies fight for the customers seafrance would have had.

DFDS and LDL have announced a joint venture.

eurotunnel was just muck stirring story.

Speculation is that DFDS and LDL can't buy the Berlioz or Rodin or Molly for 'legal reasons'; total rubbish- if they can satisfy the official receiver (French equivelant of) that the deal on the table now is the best available then they will walk (swim) away with the ships. This talk that deals must be considered for X months is not correct.
