A Bergen court has again dismissed a EUR 9m ($10.9m) claim by UK owner PGS Geophysical against Norway's GC Rieber Shipping over a vessel resale.

Rieber subsidiary Armada Seismic Invest II was sued in 2012 by Arrow Seismic Invest II, now called PGS Geophysical (UK).

It alleged that Armada paid the wrong party when it took delivery of the 20,000-hp Polar Duchess from Spain’s Factorias Vulcano shipyard in October 2011.
