Indian owner Great Eastern has failed in its bid to have damages assessed in Fujairah after a collision there last year involving one of its suezmaxes.

The 150,284-dwt Jag Laadki (built 2000) smashed into Nakilat's 210,100-cbm LNG carrier Al Khattiya (built 2009) at high speed on 23 February, 2017.

The gas ship was at anchor taking on supplies and suffered substantial damages.
