Sweden’s Concordia Maritime has recovered demurrage costs following a decision by a tanker master to pull out of a US terminal 12 minutes after berthing.

A High Court judgment in London has revealed that the captain of Concordia’s 65,100-dwt product carrier Stena Primorsk (built 2006) feared for the vessel’s safety due to low water levels at Paulsboro, New Jersey, on 31 March 2019.
