Cargill’s CarVal Investors division has deposited $2.44m with a US court to free a pipe-lay vessel seized by Cal Dive International in a dispute over unpaid bills in the wake of Mexican offshore vessel operator Oceanografia’s fraud scandal.
The move came days after US District Judge Casey Rogers, of the federal court in Pensacola, ordered the attachment of the 28,600-gt Sampson (built 2010) last week, as TradeWinds reported in its online edition.
