Ellex Valiunas has successfully represented the Vakaru Baltijos shipyard in its appeal of a public procurement award to a consortium of Finnish companies to provide a specialized vessel for the Lithuanian Armed Forces to eliminate pollution incidents and carry out rescue operations in the Baltic Sea.

According to Ellex, "the Court of Appeal upheld the appeal of Vakaru Baltijos and annulled the [Vilnius Regional Court's February 15, 2021] decision to recognize the consortium of Finnish shipbuilding company Uudenkaupungin Tyovene and electrical engineering company Telesilta (part of the Harju Elekter Group) as the winner of the procurement procedure, [announced] by the Ministry of National Defense on 19 November last year."

The court also revoked the interim measures imposed at the request of the shipbuilding company in early January, which means that the tendering procedure can be continued.

Ellex's team consisted of Partner Karolis Kacerauskas, Senior Associates Sarunas Neniskis and Aiste Mikociuniene, and Associates Matas Malijonis and Ingrida Grabiene.
