Maersk Line is being sued by a group of over 100 insurers and shippers whose cargo was damaged by fire on a boxship in 2015.
As well as damages, the claimants are seeking indemnification against liability for general average and salvage costs, according to court documents seen by TradeWinds.
The claims relate to cargo carried onboard the 8,300-teu Maersk Seoul (built 2006), which suffered a fire and explosion while underway off Oman in August 2015.
