Container ship left Chittagong following High Court order

The 'MSC Kymea', carrying export containers, left Chittagong on July 31, headed to Colombo with an ETA as of Aug 5, following a High Court order after being kept impounded for the last 11 days at the outer anchorage of the port. The authorities had seized the vessel on July 20, immediately before it was about to leave a jetty with 1084 twenty-foot containers, following the HC order after a local importer filed an admiralty suit against the vessel and 13 other people centering a dispute over some cargo provided by a foreign supplier. Uncertainty prevails over timely reaching of the export cargoes to the destination as the cargoes already missed two connecting mother vessels from the transhipment port of Colombo as the vessel got stranded. The High Court on July 30 awarded the bail to the vessel after the ship's owner through the P&I Club deposited a bank guarantee of Tk 2.61 crore, the L/C value claimed by the plaintiff. Sources said a Dhaka-based importer RB Con-Cast and Rerolling Mills (Pvt) filed the admiralty suit.
