OpenIJ can resume drawing from its banking facilities in line with the agreed new schedule with immediate effect.
OpenIJ had to renegotiate the financing schedule with the banking syndicate after the announced delays of the construction of the sea lock. In the meantime the partners of the OpenIJ consortium (VolkerWessels and BAM) financed the project from their own resources.
