Norwegian investment group Havyard Invest AS has called on Oslo-based shipbuilder Aker Yards to schedule an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting to enable shareholders to elect a new board of directors.
   Havyard said it now controls 10.17 percent of the shares in Aker, which earlier this week parted company with Chief Executive Officer Yrj' Julin after the company posted a loss of 323 million krone ($59 million) in the fourth quarter.
   Aker’s ordinary annual shareholders meeting is scheduled to take place on April 25. The company said it aims at announcing a date and time for an extraordinary shareholders meeting shortly.
