Another Bulk Carrier Arrested in Singapore
The 41,500 dwt bulk carrier Alianca Sky was arrested in Singapore last Thursday, according to the latest records from the Supreme Court of Singapore.
The Greece-flagged vessel was arrested on December 3, 2015 at 9:45 pm local time following action by local law firm Clasis LLC.
The circumstances leading to the arrest are currently unknown, but such action is typical in instances of payment dispute.
Data from VesselsValue.com indicates that the vessel is owned by Athens-based Samos (Island) Maritime Co Ltd and has a value of $2.61 million.
The arrest is the latest of several bulk carriers this year, and follows action taken last month against capesize bulk carrier Sparta, which was arrested following instruction by local law firm Virtus Law LLP.
