A US appeals court has ruled that a legal row between a fuel supplier and Hapag-Lloyd arising from the collapse of OW Bunker can go to trial in what has been claimed as a landmark decision.
The judgement relates to two cases involving US Oil Trading (USOT) and the German container line.
USOT supplied bunkers to four vessels owned and/or chartered by Hapag-Lloyd and never received payment for the fuel as a result of OW Bunker's bankruptcy.
