The Indian-flagged 175,048-dwt Kiran (built 1994) was detained on Wednesday on the orders of lawyers from Incisive Law LLC.

AIS data shows the ship presently moored off Singapore’s east coast in position 01° 29.51'N, 104° 06.18'E.

The exact details as to why the ship has been arrested remain unclear, but it is likely to be related to outstanding payments for services.

The ship was arrested in late October 2013 by Singapore’s Cara Shipping to secure a London arbitration over allegedly unpaid charter hire.
