Court Line's 'gamble' wasn't the cause of its demise - there were many more factors involved, largely Court Line's parent company's precariously highly geared investment in the shipping and leisure industry sectors and the fuel crisis of 1973. Court Line as a carrier was a viable business but a proposed MBO was rejected as its liquidation value was needed to pay off the debts of its parent company .... allegedly!!
