Court rules SwissMarine's P&I claim over 2007 capesize clash not too late

Norway's Supreme Court has delivered a landmark judgment that allows a claim to be pursued against insurer Skuld over a bulker collision in 2007.

Rival protection and indemnity insurer Gard and ship operator SwissMarine are trying to force a payout for damage to its 174,000-dwt capesize bulker Mineral Libin (built 2006) after a clash with another vessel in Fangcheng, China.
