The UK high court has allowed a claim for demurrage in an "uncommon" ruling despite the application appearing to be time-barred.
Sir Ross Cranston found in favour of Glencore Energy in a case it brought against OMV Supply & Trading.
Glencore had sold OMV 80,000 tonnes of Siberian crude in 2015, which was to be carried on the chartered 106,000-dwt Seagrace (built 2004), operated by Thenamaris and owned by Cooper Navigation.
