Dear Sir/Madam,
Our client has duly informed us of a shortage of about 23.823 m/tons of base oil from your tanker vessel which called for discharging 1000m/tons.
Kindly note that on behalf of our client, we have issued port authority arrest orders for your vessel.
Copies of arrest order we issued to port authority are attached herewith.
Master of vessel did not sign and receive the court arrest orders.
We have filed suit in court but owners did not defend and not appear in court hence case was decreed against owners.
We have filed execution decree and obtained the attached court arrest orders.
Kindly advise owners to involve their P&I Club urgently so that vessel release process from court may commence soonest possible.
Regards
Jonathan Vinarao / Denise Cabanos
