Singapore's Samudera Shipping Line is fighting to release a bulker arrested in Honduras.

The 57,400-dwt supramax Sinar Kapuas (built 2011) has been held since November due to a cargo claim by a local shipper, it revealed.

"The effort to release the ship from arrest, involving the group, its lawyers and insurance company as well as the Honduran authority, is underway," it said.
