A Swiss agriculture company has asserted claims against a Turkish-controlled bulker that could be headed for the auction block.

AMS Ameropa filed an intervenor complaint on 21 September in Bank of America's litigation that seized the 35,500-dwt Marine Princess (built 2012). The company is seeking the $3.3m that it said it lost on a subcharter it was unable to fulfil after the Sohtorik Management & Agency-managed ship was arrested.
