Paradip: The Paradip Port Authority detained a Chinese cargo ship following an ‘arrest’ order of the vessel by the Orissa High Court over a monetary dispute, an official said on Wednesday.
Under admiralty law, a ship can be ‘arrested’ for the enforcement of maritime claims that arise out of the ownership, construction, possession, management, operation, or trading of any ship.
The High Court order came following a monetary dispute between the owner of the ship and the company that had dispatched the cargo – low sulphur marine gasoil. The ship will remain detained at the port until further orders, news agency PTI reported.
The company which sent the cargo submitted before the High Court that the ship’s owner failed to pay Rs 99.81 lakh to it. After reviewing the submitted documents and arguments, the court passed the arrest order on Monday.
