An Iason Hellenic Shipping-connected company is blaming Western Bulk after a dispute over discharging at a Covid-19-wracked port led to one of its ships being arrested.
Liberty Shipholding, the registered owner of the 63,301-dwt Caravos Liberty (built 2013), sued the Norwegian bulker operator on 2 September in a US federal court in Delaware. The action seeks $1.9m over the ship's seizure in Bangladesh.
