May 19, 2022 Singapore Earnings & Filings Industry Updates

Genting Group Chairman Lim Kok Thay has launched a new cruise line from Singapore, which will make its debut on June 15.

The launch of the new operation comes just months after Lim’s Genting Hong Kong filed for bankruptcy protection after its ships were grounded due to Covid and its German shipyard operations ran into problems.

According to local media, Resorts World Cruises is rehiring about 1,600 people for the cruise business and has rehired about 70 of 100 former sales and marketing teams.
