A United Arab Emirates-registered company is suing Penfield Marine's UK arm over a crew change it alleges complicated a cargo discharge.

Wellbred Trading sued Penfield Marine UK in the US federal court for the Southern District of New York, seeking to garnish at least $532,000 for extra costs incurred when Penfield redirected the 105,525-dwt Jag Leela (built 2011) to India in the spring.
