SEB Bankas should transfer the 3-million-euro loan on Monday.
“I think the money should reach the company’s account in the afternoon…,” he said.
LJL had been making losses since 2008 and it had been burdened by an approximately 14-million-euro loan from SEB Bankas, Girdauskas said, adding that the company’s performance had also been undermined by unfavourable situation in the global shipping market.

In addition to this loan, LJL owes approximately 15 million euros to SEB Bankas.
