KR said it could confirm that on 24 January the arrest warrant application for the classification society’s surveyor had been rejected.
Arrest warrants were being sought for five people in connection with the sinking including Kim Wan-joong, ceo of Polaris Shipping, owner of the vessel.
“The MV Stellar Daidy vessel was classed with KR and she was surveyed in accordance with our rules and regulations which comply with relevant international conventions,” KR said.
“The safety of lives and safeguarding the marine environment are top priorities for KR and the society will continue to work with all the relevant authorities to assist with the investigation into the tragic loss of this vessel.”
