| Saddled with more than $6 million in debt, cruise excursion provider ShoreTrips has been placed in receivership as owners Barry and Julie Karp try to sell rather than permanently shutter the pandemic-ravaged company. According to court filings in Wisconsin, the Milwaukee-based company's liabilities include $4.76 million in customer deposits for trips that have been canceled. Additionally, the company owes $974,324 in accounts payable and $345,000 in long-term debt but has just over $100,000 in cash and assets. ShoreTrips filed for protection from creditors in state circuit court in Milwaukee last month under Wisconsin's Chapter 128, which offers a state alternative to federal bankruptcy protection. Milwaukee County circuit court judge Timothy Witkowiak appointed attorney Seth Dizard of the firm O'Neil, Cannon, Hollman, DeJong & Laing S.C. as receiver in the case. Last week, the judge ordered all creditor claims to be filed through the court by March 1.
