Shares trading for Sainty Marine has been suspended since August 2015 as the company struggled with financial problems and mismanagement.

Earlier this week, a creditor, Bank of China’s Nantong branch, has applied to a local court to liquidate Sainty Marine, and the decision is still pending by the court.

The financially-shaken Sainty Marine is facing a hosts of problems including cancellation of shipbuilding contracts by buyers, frozen bank accounts, resignation of key executives, and unpaid debts.
