The Dongbank Shipping-owned 6,600-bhp Dongbang Pallas (built 1990) was arrested on Thursday lunchtime.

The South Korean-flagged vessel was arrested on the instructions of local law firm Oon & Bazul LLP.

AIS data shows the ship presently moored off Singapore’s east coast in position 01° 25.94'N, 103° 87.04'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.
