FT.com / Companies / Shipping - Singapore groups to sue Dubai World division

Three Singapore companies are suing Dubai’s Drydocks World, the ship repair unit of Dubai World, for non-payment of bills.

The cases, confirmed by the Singapore High Court, suggest that troubled conglomerate Dubai World may not be able to confine legal cases to a special tribunal set up in Dubai.

Dubai World, the government-owned conglomerate, expects to sign a $25bn restructuring deal with this week, according to its chairman, Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed al-Maktoum.

Two units of Drydocks World, Drydocks World Singapore Pte and Labroy Shipbuilding & Engineering Pte, are being sued for non-payment of goods in four cases that are believed to be relatively modest sums. Drydocks World is in talks to restructure a $2bn loan.
