OW Bunker
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the "Res Cogitans" law case. For the thinking man's res cogitans, see Mental substance.
OW Bunker, founded in 1980, was a marine fuel (bunker) company based at Nørresundby in northern Denmark. It was the world's largest bunker supplier until its collapse on 7 November 2014.[1] It went from initial public offering (IPO) [2] to bankruptcy in less than a year.[3] The dramatic collapse of the company led to expedited litigation in the English courts (as all the contracts had been declared to be "subject to English Law").
