PDVSA subsidiary Albanave’s 113,000-dwt tanker Arita (built 2015) has been arrested in Singapore.
Court records indicate the Panamanian-flagged tanker was seized last week at the request of the law firm Gurbani & Co.
The arrest comes several weeks after the vessel's technical manager Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement (BSM)said it would hand back all tankers it managed for PDVSA as it had become "almost impossible" to work with vessel assets belonging to Venezuelan government.
