Fortescue Wins? Shipping Loses? Armada’s Creditors Receive a Pittance.

Declaring victory in its arbitration dispute with Armada (Singapore), Fortescue Metals Group announced that judgment was awarded in its favor in the dispute over the termination of its five-year COA with Armada in 2009. Alleging damages in excess of $70 million, Armada declined Fortescue’s settlement offer of $4 million related to the two shipments that Fortescue suspended prior to the COA termination and instead was awarded $3.7 million for these shipments.
