A High Court judge in the UK has taken the rare move to scrap a London arbitration tribunal's award of compensation to German shipowner NTO Shipping for a general cargoship explosion.
Justice Philip Pelling QC found that waste processing company MVV Development Devonport was wrongly named as the cargo shipper in a charter and bill of lading involving NTO's 2,600-dwt Nortrader (built 2012).
