Seaboard Marine is chasing the owner of a boxship that it chartered briefly in 2017 as the liner operator seeks damages totalling $4.7m.
The Miami-based company claimed it was out of pocket for that amount because the 2,082-teu Marivia (built 2001) was delivered in very poor condition, which forced it to terminate the charter early.
Nearly four years later Seaboard arrested the ship in Singapore as security for a London arbitration proceeding.
