Pan Ocean is pursuing Clearlake Shipping's customers as part of its $7.25m lawsuit against the trader for allegedly not paying security for one of the shipowner's vessels.

The South Korean company filed an attachment to its recent suit alleging Clearlake's breach of a 2016 charter contract requiring indemnity for added Clearlake-related costs.

Pan Ocean seeks to garnish undisclosed earnings from Clearlake's four-day fixes of the Hafnia Lupus and the Atlantic Journey this month to Texas-based Valero Energy.
