Sophocles Zoullas’ Zenith Shipping Group is seeking to claw back damages after one of its vessels was allegedly wrongfully arrested in India by a bunker supplier that has been chasing fuel bills from a former charterer of the ship.
The legal battle centres on the 53,800-dwt Denali (built 2009), one of two sisterships the New York shipowner purchased in 2015 from a joint venture between trader Glencore and Goldenport Holdings.
