Danish bunker and tanker group Monjasa is appealing a UK court decision to kick out claims against Libyan shipowner GNMTC because it was too late in filing for the action.
It was suing Deep Sea Maritime, the owner of GNMTC's 115,000-dwt aframax Alhani (built 2007), over a bunker deal that went wrong in 2011.
Deputy high court judge David Foxton QC said in July that Deep Sea Maritime had sought a judgement on whether Monjasa's claims were time-barred under Article III Rule 6 of the Hague Rules because legal action was not brought within a year.
