The Singapore bunkering publication in early December reported Glander International Bunkering seeking repayment of approximately USD 116,000 from the similar vessel for a bunkering operation conducted during early March at Coega port in South Africa.
Yangtze Harmony, which was arrested on 25 October by Rajah & Tann Singapore, is currently being held at Sudong Special Purpose Anchorage – 4309D.
