China's maritime courts are celebrating the outcome of the low-key arrest of a VLCC earlier this year by Greek owners.
The Qingdao Maritime Court is touting the arrest in March of the 299,200-dwt Respect (ex-Nerissa, built 2006) by Greece's NGM Energy as a sign that international shipowners trust the Chinese legal system.
The court began publicising the legal action recently as one of a list of successfully resolved legal claims that they believe should increase foreign shipping companies' awareness of and confidence in China.
