Golar LNG’s ongoing tussles with Safe Haven over laidup Gandria move into court

A tug-of-war between shipowner Golar LNG and layup provider Safe Haven Maritime over an LNG carrier has moved into court.

Safe Haven tells TradeWinds that a hearing was held in Indonesia last month over Golar’s 125,000-cbm Gandria (built 1977). It was attended by company representatives, others from subsidiary Baruna Bahari and officials from state energy company Pertamina.

But a Safe Haven spokesman says Golar did not attend the proceedings.
