OW Bunker Issues Another Arrest Warrant Over Unpaid Bunker Bills
Wednesday January 14, 2015
Another arrest warrant has been issued in the U.S. on behalf of OW Bunker over unpaid bunker bills, reports Tradewinds.
The warrant, issued by OW Bunker USA and OW Bunker North America, is for the Box Trader, a 3,400 TEU vessel belonging to Greek operator Box Ships.
The ship is reportedly currently being chartered by Hapag-Lloyd.
The move is widely being described as bankrupt OW Bunker's way of recovering any cash they can in the wake of their collapse.
OW Bunker's U.S. units made similar moves last week, having also had a warrant issued for the Chinese-owned COSCO Piraeus.
