A row over the substitution of a handysized bulk carrier that has already played at a London arbitration and trial is set to debut in New York.

Progress Bulk Carriers is suing ICAP Shipping USA, doing business as Skaarup Shipbrokers, over a 2009 charter of the 37,000-dwt bulk carrier Cenk Kaptanoglu (built 1983).

Tube City had barges waiting on the Mississippi so was under pressure to accept a substituted vessel.
