Claims against Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) for the loss of the MOL Comfort are now amounting to over $500m, with more than 100 claimants joining the Tokyo court legal action headed by Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL), according to reports in Japan.
The 8,110-teu MOL Comfort (built 2008) dramatically broke up and sank in the Indian Ocean in June last year with 4,382 containers onboard after developing a fracture amidships.
