MV Sun Winner, Chinese-owned handysize bulker, has been arrested in Singapore following a collision with an elderly reefer vessel. The Grandfame Ship Management controlled 37,306-dwt MV Sun Winner (built 1983) was detained earlier this week by Singapore’s admiralty sheriff. The Panama-flagged MV Sun Winner was arrested on the instructions of local law firm Gurbani & Co.
Court documents show that the owners of the 4,360-dwt reefer Win Sheng (built 1979) are seeking damages of SGD 800,000 ($615,000). MV Sun Winner was bought in November 2011 from Greece’s Atlantic Bulk Carriers for a reported $4.5m.
