Neste Oil has clarified its claims against YIT Industrial and Network Services as totaling some EUR 107 million in a contract dispute that was put before the Court of Arbitration in April this year. As reported in April, Neste Oil's claims against YIT consist of damages based on contract delays, now specified at approximately EUR 38.5 million, and damages valued at some EUR 68.5 million resulting from subsequent lost production. The dispute between Neste Oil and YIT relates to disagreements related to the final financial settlement of mechanical installation work on production line 4, which was completed and came on stream at Neste Oil's Porvoo oil refinery in the summer of 2007. YIT has lodged counter claims against Neste Oil totaling some EUR 25 million, primarily based on work carried out under the contract and the additional costs incurred due to the prolongation of the project. Both parties contest each other's claims.
