PORT AUTHORITY FOUND LIABLE IN MAPUTO GROUNDING CASE

We recently represented the Charterers of the MV “DUBAI SUN”, a vessel which touched the bottom of Berth 15 at the port of Maputo, Mozambique during loading of a cargo of chrome. As a result, loading was delayed; the vessel had to leave the berth, move outside the port and could not return until about a week later when additional fenders were placed on the quayside to push the vessel out into deeper water.
