It is indicated that the Russian ship was in the port city of Cochin. The arrest was made for non-payment of a $ 23,503 fuel surcharge by Bunker Partner OU, an Estonia-based company.
The case was filed by a local power of attorney holder of an Estonian company demanding payment for the cost of fuel loading on the ship.
Due to the fact that the ship was delivering cargo for the Indian Navy, the court allowed it to be lowered at the time of detention.
It will be recalled that the United States confiscated 100,000 tons of oil from a Russian ship. The “black gold” from the tanker was reloaded to the capacity of the port of Karystos on the island of Evvia in the Aegean Sea. The reason for the confiscation was the violation of sanctions against Iran.
