In the announcement, Seatrium stated that it will explore viable solutions to the withdrawal, including consultation with the end customer Empire Offshore Wind LLC. At the same time, it is reviewing the validity of the notice of termination of the shipbuilding contract and the allegations contained therein, while evaluating the legal and commercial responses based on the terms of the contract, including the right to object to the notice of termination and/or initiate legal proceedings to seek all available remedies for improper termination.
