Bill Amos, who has a 25-year career representing banks in maritime legal cases, can breathe a sigh of relief now that the first of Brightoil Petroleum’s VLCCs has gone under the hammer in Hong Kong.
The High Court of Hong Kong sold the 320,000-dwt Brightoil Glory (built 2012) last week to Diamantis Diamantides’ Delta Tankers for just over $58m.
Amos, a partner at the Hong Kong office of legal firm Mayer Brown, acted for the vessel’s mortgagee bank.
