In Rostov, another foreign ship was arrested due to parking debt

The arbitration court of the Rostov region seized the ship “Sea Princess”, owned by a company from the Marshall Islands. The reason was the failure to fulfill obligations to pay for parking in the port of the Don capital: the amount of debt exceeded 136.2 million rubles. The relevant information appeared in the file of arbitration cases on November 3.

The plaintiff in the case is LLC Rostov Sea Multimodal Port. Requirements are presented to the company "SI PRINCESS MARIN Ltd", registered in the Marshall Islands. The court granted the port's request for interim measures - the arrest of the vessel is designed to prevent its withdrawal from the jurisdiction and simplify the procedure for collecting funds from a foreign shipowner.

The fate of the bulk carrier was associated with the hydrological situation on the Don. As explained in the Maritime Agency “Linkor”, representing the interests of the shipowner, the ship could not go on a commercial voyage due to insufficient water levels. Under these conditions, the owner decided to unload the entire cargo - this measure was a response to the claims of the port.

The port now has until November 25 to file a full claim for debt collection. Otherwise, interim measures may be withdrawn.

The case of the Sea Princess was the fourth arrest of a foreign vessel in Rostov in the last two months due to parking debts. At the end of October, the arbitration court similarly arrested the ship “Vusal Maharramov” from the African state and the ship “Volaris-53”, owned by a company from the Caribbean country.
