Moroccan exporter OCP has said it will continue to ship out phosphate cargoes from the disputed region of Western Sahara despite the threat of legal action.
The 60,000-dwt AM Nomikos bulker NM Cherry Blossom (built 2015) spent a year in South Africa after its cargo was arrested by the Polisario Front, an organisation representing Western Sahara.
The ship left this month after the phosphate was bought by charterer Furness Withy and sold back to OCP.
