Shipowners are joining the litany of legal claims over a massive terminal fire in March 2019 that caused a traffic jam in the Houston Ship Channel.
Sovcomflot (SCF Group)-affiliated Waterways Tankers filed a lawsuit on 17 March over the incident, while MISC Berhad subsidiary AET lodged a complaint on 12 March.
Both cases in the US federal court for the Southern District of Texas target Intercontinental Terminal Co (ITC) in an effort to recoup costs related to the blaze alongside dozens of other individuals and companies.
