A global legal battle between Hanwin Shipping and Transatlantica Commodities has landed in yet another jurisdiction.

After a series of lawsuits filed across the US, one in Panama and arbitration commenced in London, Hanwin filed a new case against Transatlantica of Singapore on Friday in the US federal court for Massachusetts.

The latest case seeks to arrest bunkers aboard the 40,256-dwt bulker TAC Imola (built 2021) to cover a $4m bill related to a cargo fire in November 2021.
