An AM Nomikos bulker caught up in a cargo dispute in South Africa has left after a year.
The 55,000 tonnes of West Saharan phosphate, shipped by OCP of Morocco on the 60,000-dwt NM Cherry Blossom (built 2015), has been at the centre of court proceedings in Port Elizabeth since the cargo was seized last May.
The Polisario Front, the political organisation representing Western Sahara, alleged the phosphate bound for New Zealand was illegally taken from the territory.
