| Post subject: | S.S. Rotterdam update |
The latest on this ocean liner saga: On December 8 the court of justice of Rotterdam announced bankruptcy of the "s.s.Rotterdam BV", the company that owns the s.s. Rotterdam. In the mean time however, the city of Rotterdam, who recently became owner of the "s.s. Rotterdam BV" was negotiating with several parties who want to buy the s.s. Rotterdam. On December 13 Port of Rotterdam has chosen the Hospitality Support Group (HSG) and Fortis Bank as parties for the final sale negotiations. The future proprietors of the s.s. Rotterdam are planning to accommodate restaurants, a hotel (500 beds), a museum and room for congress (450 persons). The director of HSG, Jan Roersma, has done a lot of thorough work to prepare for buying and operating the ship. He is negotiating with other parties about several accommodations on board the ship. The final negotiations will last until February 2005. The Steamship Rotterdam Foundations welcomes this new episode, bringing more clearness about the future of the ship. With this message we can end the year 2004 in a happy mood. We can also look foreward to an exciting new year! The Steamship Rotterdam Foundation wishes you a happy new year! P.S. Please visit our website, we added some new photos of the s.s. Rotterdam! ------------------------------------------------------------ Nederlands: http://www.stoomschiprotterdam.nl |
