Jan De Nul saw one of its contracts in Ukraine valued at 35 million euros canceled by the competition authority of the Eastern European country following a complaint by a competitor, a subsidiary of the Dutch Van Oord company.
The contract concerned work in the port of Youjne (south-west), on the Black Sea.
The cancellation is linked to technical specifications, according to the company. Local media reported suspicions of corruption. The offer selected would also be 4 million euros higher than that of competition.
Jan De Nul refers to the taking into account of a set of criteria to designate its offer as the most competitive, despite the price difference.
The dredging company will probably stop there and not undertake any further action.
