Stock of 660,000 kilos of car tires from bankrupt company still awaiting a buyer

A stockpile of 660,000 kilograms of shredded tires from the bankrupt firm Neva Ocean's remains unsold in the port of Amsterdam. The curator is struggling to finalize a sale due to stringent new European export regulations, while the company's outstanding debts have continued to rise.

A stockpile of 660,000 kilograms of shredded tires, belonging to the bankrupt Lelystad-based firm Neva Ocean's, remains stored in the port of Amsterdam as a buyer is sought. The company declared bankruptcy in June after a shipment intended for Turkey was refused, leaving the firm unable to offload its inventory. The situation has been complicated by stricter European regulations regarding the export of recycled tire materials, which now require specific permits. The curator is currently consulting with the Human Environment and Transport Inspectorate to determine how the sale can proceed under these new legal requirements.

Financial troubles for the company have intensified since the bankruptcy filing, with debts rising from approximately 78,250 euros to nearly 100,000 euros. The number of creditors involved has also increased as storage costs continue to accumulate. While the curator is in discussions with multiple interested parties, they are also conducting a deeper investigation into the company's past financial transactions and internal cash flows to resolve outstanding issues.
