A Russian shipowner has won a UK legal victory in a charter dispute case arising from the lapsed class certification of an anchor-handler.

Silverburn Shipping is entitled to take re-delivery of the 50-bp Arctic (built 2012) from Nikolay Sochin's Ark Shipping, high court judge Sue Carr ruled.

Silverburn had appealed a 2018 tribunal award against it on the basis that it reached conclusions on two points of law that were "at least open to serious doubt".
