Cash-strapped Norwegian Cruise flags going concern risks

(Reuters) - Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd (NCLH.N), the world’s third-largest cruise operator, raised doubts about its ability to keep running as a business on Tuesday, the first in the sector to signal it may succumb to the coronavirus crisis.
The company’s shares slumped about 14% in early trading on Tuesday as it also launched a $1.6 billion offering of shares and bonds in a scramble to raise money. The company also announced a $400 million investment from a private equity firm.
Norwegian Cruise and rivals Carnival Corp (CCL.N) and Royal Caribbean Cruises (RCL.N) have been among the most high-profile victims of the pandemic after deadly outbreaks on some cruise ships led to extended port quarantines in Japan and California.
The industry was left out of a $2.3 trillion U.S. stimulus package for troubled companies as the major players are all incorporated outside the United states.
