인도 GMR는 국제공항개조공사와 관련, 몰디브 정부를 제소했다.
몰디브공항 발주기업을 중국기업으로 변경한 것과 관련, GMR는 “몰디브 정부가 자사와의 합의 이행을 부당하게 거부했다”고 주장했다.
GMR자회사 GMR마레국제공항은 2010년 이부라힘나실국제공항 개수 운영사업을 수주했다.
하지만 2012년에 수주간에 걸쳐 반정부운동이 일어나자 몰디브 정부는 평가액 5억달러 이상인 이 계약을 일방적으로 파기해버렸다.
그 후 몰디브정부는 GMI와의 계약을 무효화하는 절차를 개시했다. 이에 맞서 GMI도 이번 사안을 싱가포르재판소에 제소했다.
싱가포르재판소는 지난 6월 “공사발주 합의는 유효하며 법적 구속력을 갖고 있다”며 몰디브정부와 몰디브공항회사에 대해 손해배상의 의무가 있다고 판결했다. 글로벌이코노믹 김경식 기자 | kimksik5@naver.com |
GMR claims $803 m for termination of Male
airport contract
|
GMR Male International Airport Private Limited (GMIAL), a subsidiary of GMR Infrastructure Limited (GMR), has claimed $803 million (around Rs.4,987 crore) from the Maldivian government for ‘wrongfully’ terminating the international airport contract in that country’s capital.
According to a filing with bourses, the Indian infra major said, in addition to that, a plea for award of further damages for the loss of reputation caused to GMR as a consequence of wrongful repudiation of the Concession Agreement has also been made to the Arbitral Tribunal in Singapore.
“Following the aforesaid award, GMIAL has submitted its claim for damages amounting to $803 million ...The quantification of the damages is subject to expert evidence,” it said. GMR entered into a Concession Agreement with the Government of Maldives and Maldives Airport Company Limited (MACL) for modernisation and operation of the Ibrahim Nasir International Airport (INIA) in 2010.
However, difference cropped up between both parties and the then Maldivian government terminated the concession agreement and took over control of the airport operations of INIA. The Concession Agreement was wrongfully repudiated by the Maldivian government and MACL and on November 29, 2012, arbitration proceedings were initiated by the government and MACL themselves seeking a declaration that the Concession Agreement was void ab initio, GMR said.
The Arbitral Tribunal, by its award dated June 18, 2014, ruled the said Concession Agreement was valid and binding and that Maldivian government and MACL were jointly and ‘severally’ liable in damages to GMIAL for loss caused by their wrongful repudiation of the Agreement, it further said. — PTI |
