K Line is blaming May's Houston Ship Channel crash and oil spill on a BW Group-controlled VLGC, court papers show.
Subsidiary K Line Energy Ship Management filed a complaint Tuesday in Galveston federal court alleging that the 82,400-cbm Genesis River (built 2018) was forced to change course repeatedly by the erratic movements of BW's 82,300-cbm BW Oak's (built 2008). That led to a crash with a Kirby-owned flotilla, the Japanese shipowner alleged.
