BOWLEVEN has come under renewed attack from Crown Ocean Capital, which criticised the oil and gas firm’s decision to launch a strategic review. Edinburgh-based Bowleven has said the review will consider all options open to the Cameroon-focused firm including the possible sale of the business. It was launched after five directors were voted off Bowleven’s board following a campaign for change by Crown Ocean. The Monaco-based investment firm said: “We strongly believe that right now is absolutely not an opportune time for Bowleven to engage with any parties about either a potential sale of its assets or the Company.” Crown Ocean has a 23 per cent stake in Bowleven.
