Yacht group The Italian Sea Group (TISG) is insolvent; founder Giovanni Costantino and his son have resigned and insolvency administrators have opened a sale process. After adjustments TISG reports an annual loss of €157 million and negative equity of €376 million; a further net loss was recorded through mid‑year.
