ESCO GOES BELLY UP, DEFAULTS ON $31 MILLION LOAN


Channel 5 News
PORT OF BROWNSVILLE - The wait continues for more than 200 employees who were sent home from work without pay Monday.
Esco Marine Inc. ceased operations citing low metal prices. A civil lawsuit filed against the company, though, reveals it defaulted on a multi-million-dollar loan.
“The company continues to work on solving a means of getting everyone paid or coming up with a means to get everybody paid,” said Arnie Tyler, a manager with the company.
Tyler would not speak about the lawsuit.
The 32-page lawsuit claims Esco owes Callidus Capital Corporation of Canada more than $31 million from a loan.
The suit claims that "by June, 2014, Esco was in extreme financial and operational distress." The company got the loan as they searched for someone to buy the business.

We have to wonder what will happen to the "great ladies of the sea" sold to ESCO by the U.S. Navy to be cut into scrap. Since the ships cost ESCO almost nothing, perhaps they will sit forever at the Port of Brownsville.

Keppel is likely next to let people go with the oil price drop. Ship braking only works with slave wages and NO environmental control... Welcome to the Port.
