Kvaerner Group To Acquire Kimek Shipyard Norwegian shipping, offshore and en- gineering group Kvaerner A/S has an- nounced that it is taking over the closely- held Kimek A/S shipyard in Kirkenes on the Russian-Norwegian border. Kvaerner, which already owns 40 percent ofKimek, intends to provide the company with 30 million Norwegian Kroner ($4.8 million) in fresh capital. According to Kvaerner, the shipyard will change its name to Kvaerner Kimek A/S and will concentrate on moderniza- tion and maintenance work for the Rus- sian fishing fleet. The acquisition of the remaining out- standing shares in Kimek coincides with a major government development pack- age for both the yard and Kirkenes. "This 230-million-(Norwegian) Krone ($36.7 million) program, which is due to get underway immediately and will be com- pleted in 1994, is being funded jointly by Kvaerner and the Norwegian gov- ernment," the release continued.
