A Viken Shipping aframax tanker has been sitting under arrest in Singapore for a week over a cargo claim totalling about $4.4m.

High Court records indicate that the Norwegian shipowner’s 113,500-dwt Kronviken (built 2006) was arrested on Sunday at the request of the owner of a cargo that had recently been transported by the ship.

The vessel is owned by Viken Crude, a Viken joint venture.
