What was supposed to have been a routine redelivery of an aframax at the conclusion of long-term bareboat charter is expected to become an acrimonious legal battle between US-listed StealthGas and Norway’s Bergshav.
Details of the dispute emerged this week after Stealth Berana AS, a Bergshav-linked vehicle that chartered the 115,800-dwt Stealth Berana (built 2010) for a five-year period beginning in 2015, arrested the ship in Singapore shortly after handing it back to its Harry Vafias-backed owner earlier this month.
