Varouxakis said FreeSeas has no relationship with the claimants
A Greek bulker operator says the arrest of one of its vessels in Panama following allegations of unpaid bunkers stemmed from claims against an unrelated company that chartered the ship last year, industry news site TradeWinds reports.
"We think the arrest is unlawful and we intend to fight this in court," said Ion Varouxakis, chief executive of FreeSeas.
The 30,800 deadweight tonne (dtw) Free Neptune was used about a year ago by TME, which failed to pay for fuel it purchased.
"The charterer went bankrupt and didn't pay for the bunkers," Varouxakis said.
"Now the suppliers are doing whatever they can to try and recover the money.
