Dutch bank ING scored a win in its long running attempt to recoup some $700m in a working capital loan it provided to OW Denmark as a US appeals court ruled that it could assert a claim over the bunkers provided to a vessel by OW.

ING appealed an September 2016 decision by US district court judge Katherine Forrest that the bank was not entitled to seek a maritime lien on the 53,400-dwt Temara.
