Dan-Bunkering arrested “Megacore Honami” sold at Singapore auction

The Megacore Honami (IMO No. 9456070) has been sold for SGD 18,114,075 (approximately USD 13.4 million) on 18 December following an order of the High Court of Singapore, the court said in a note published on Tuesday (24 December).

“All questions affecting priorities or the validity of the claim of any party to the proceeds of sale of the Vessel except as herein provided and affecting the amount of any such claim shall not be determined until after the expiration of 90 days beginning with the day on which the proceeds of sale are paid into Court,” it said.

“Any person having a claim against the ship or the proceeds of the sale thereof on which they intend to proceed to judgment should accordingly do so before the expiration of that period.”

The 36,955 dwt chemical and oil carrier was arrested and held at Eastern Special Purpose Anchorage 'A' (Grid 5617C) since 22 October, 2018.

The vessel was put up for sale by the Sheriff’s office at the High Court of the Republic of Singapore on 9 September.

Dan-Bunkering is claiming a total US $328,350.67 (not including interest of 2% per month) from two unpaid bunkering contracts issued in November 2017 for the delivery of marine fuel and lubricants to the vessel.
