The Malaysian High Court has dismissed three writs involving claims of $11,671.30 by CCK Petroleum, $118,920.26 by CCK Capital, and $128,571.49 by CCK Petroleum (Labuan) Limited.
“The company wishes to announce that the Kuala Lumpur High Court has on 4 October 2017: 1) struck-out the writs; and 2) cost of MYR5,000 ($1,200) was awarded,” PDZ announced to the stock exchange.
The three writs in admiralty in rem had led to the arrest of the 698-teu feeder vessel PDZ Mewah since January this year.
In February this year, PDZ had said the company has a “strong arguable case” to challenge the vessel arrest and setting aside of the claims.
But troubles for PDZ are not over as the company still faces claims of $592,808 allegedly owed to Dan-Bunkering (Singapore), also from the non-payment of bunkers supplied to the same vessel PDZ Mewah.
There was also another writ served in April by Continental Platform for the sum of $127,309, again for default payment of bunkers by PDZ Mewah. The Continental Platform’s writ led to a warrant of arrest on another PDZ vessel, the PDZ Maju.
