A Singaporean bulker owner is looking to arrest a Taiwanese-owned ship in Virginia after its charter was terminated earlier this summer.

Dry Bulk Singapore filed a $1.8m lawsuit last Friday in the Eastern District of Virginia federal court, accusing Dong Lien Maritime SA Panama, a subsidiary of Shih Wei Navigation, of abruptly canceling its charter while the 58,100-dwt Eternity SW (built 2011) was discharging cargo in Quebec in July.
