Reff & Associates | Deloitte Legal assisted Damen Galati Shipyard in obtaining the financing from Exim Banca Romaneasca of 25 million euros, which will be used by the shipbuilder in implementing its investment program, based on the expansion and equipping of ship assembly facilities.
“The completion of this transaction marks an important milestone in the development of our company and is an achievement that we also consider the merit of Reff & Associates | Deloitte Legal, their professionalism and expertise being essential for the success of this endeavor,” said Daniela Cristea, Chief Financial Officer, Damen Galati Shipyard.
