Freight forwarder Panalpina and FPSO giant Modec are exchanging blows over the bill for costly damage to equipment that was banged up when a multipurpose ship (MPP) encountered heavy weather.
Modec, the Japanese owner off floating production storage and offloading units, alleges that it suffered $2.56m in damages to three compressor units shipped in six packages on the 12,700-dwt Alina (built 2010), according to legal papers obtained by TradeWinds.
