An affiliate of Primera Maritime is asking a federal judge to throw out a lawsuit by d'Amico Dry after the Italian shipowner's requests for proof of ship ownership are denied.
Nikka Finance filed a motion for summary judgment to dismiss a 2009 freight forwarding agreement (FFA) suit since the company is not Primera's "alter ego", court documents state.
Since July, d'Amico Dry filed three "motions to compel" Nikka Finance to furnish ownership papers for the 29,100-dwt Seaglass II (built 2008) to prove double identity.
