Turkish shipowner Palmali Holdings has been allowed to proceed to trial at the UK High Court in a tanker charter dispute with Russian charter Litasco.
Justice David Foxton permitted the shipping company to amend its claim to pursue $151m in compensation from the unit of Russian energy company Lukoil, down from an original claim of $1.9bn.
A row over the amount of the claim led to a trial set for February this year being scrapped in October, after it had been adjourned from June.
