A Pappadakis-family company is asking the US Supreme Court to judge whether the US Coast Guard (USCG) was acting fairly when it asked for a multimillion-dollar bond to free one of its bulkers in 2013.
Attorneys representing Angelex, a Kassian Maritime affiliate owned by the family, filed a petition with the court in late January, over a clause in the Act to Prevent Pollution from Ships they say courts disregarded in a legal battle over the 2013 detention of the 73,500-dwt Antonis G Pappadakis (built 1995).
