BANGLADESH's Chittagong Port Authority (CPA) has arrested the Pacific International Lines' (PIL) container vessel Kota Bistari after being ordered by an admiral court for damaging three boxes.
The ship, with containers onboard, was supposed to have sailed from Chittagong last Wednesday noon but could not do so due to the court order after an importer filed a case seeking compensation for the damage, reports Container News.
The Singapore flag carrier vessel with outbound containers onboard has been sent to the outer anchorage of Chittagong port and will stay there until the issues are solved, Ahsan Habib, senior manager, operations, logistics, and SOC Marketing at PIL (Bangladesh) Ltd confirmed.
He said talks are underway with the party that filed the case for a solution.
"We could successfully discharge the three containers that were damaged onboard," he pointed out.
Mr Habib said since Thursday (July 20) all the pending issues could not be resolved indicating that they could not manage suspension or vacation of the court order which held the ship from sailing.
