Shipowner Sam Tariverdi’s Saint James Shipping is back in control of one of its vessels after the intervention of Yemeni military.

The handover of the 17,475-dwt Ariana (built 2016) at the port of Mocha came after a standoff between two rival crews, which TradeWinds has previously reported.

The former Global Radiance Ship Management crew members had demanded months of back wages and refused to leave the ship, but they are now paid off and are on their way home to Karachi by a circuitous route.
