The owner of a $124m loan allegedly backing Active Shipping has joined NYK Line in its chase of the Turkish shipowner.

Nassau Maritime Holdings Designated Activity Company filed a claim in the US federal court for the Middle District of Louisiana on Tuesday.

It intervened in an earlier lawsuit by NYK Line, the Japanese shipping giant, in the same court on Monday, seeking to arrest the 115,406-dwt tanker Riverside (built 2009) to cover the nine-figure claim.
