Tanker Arrested in Singapore
The 119,500 dwt LR2 products tanker, SKS Donggang, last week was arrested in Singapore, records from the Supreme Court of Singapore showed.
The arrest took place at 3:32pm on November 4 following action taken by local law firm Oon & Bazul LLP.
Data from VesselsValue.com indicated the 2011-built vessel was controlled by Norway-based Jebsen Skipsrederi AS and valued at $50.1 million.
The exact circumstances leading to the arrest are currently unknown, but such action is typical in instances of payment dispute.
Ship & Bunker understands the matter has since been resolved, with AIS data showing this weekend the vessel was moored and laden off Jurong Island.
The arrest is the first of the month and follow a busy October which saw several vessels arrested, including five bulk carriers.
