Pacific Tugboat Service (PTS) will allow Advanced Environmental Group (AEG) to use its barge after arresting the flatboat on the grounds that AEG allegedly stole it.
Both sides have agreed to let California-based AEG use the vessel "on a limited case by case/job-by-job basis" to service oceangoing ships, earn revenue and thus avoid legal exposure to third parties.
In the meantime, they will work on drafting a "standstill agreement" that will modify Pacific Tug's arrest of the barge, according to court documents filed in US District Court for the Central District of California.
