An LR1 tanker was arrested in Singapore over the weekend.
The 73,700 DWT tanker Fair Star was arrested in Singapore at 9:05 PM local time on October 5, according to a list of detained vessels published by the city-state's judiciary.
The arrest was made on behalf of law firm Rajan and Tan Singapore LLP, and the vessel is being held at the Eastern Petroleum Anchorage A.
The Liberian-flagged ship was built in 2008 and came to Singapore from China over the past two weeks, according to data from VesselsValue.
