Lawyers for a George Economou-controlled capesize bulker are claiming at least $1m in damages after a Chinese-owned handymax ploughed into their client's ship.
The allision occurred on 27 April while the 177,900-dwt Madeira (built 2007) was lightering coal in the Kandla outer anchorage in the Gulf of Kutch.
The Madeira is owned by Arlen Maritime Co, a single-ship entity affiliated with Economou's Cardiff Marine.
