In ongoing litigation for an international client, Fichte & Co have successfully arrested a vessel on behalf of her managers in two different times and in two different jurisdictions. The merits of the case concern unpaid management fees and the first arrest was withdrawn when a settlement agreement was executed between the parties. Upon breach of the settlement terms we have been instructed to re-arrest the vessel now moving to a different jurisdiction and we have done so successfully defending the arrest till the Supreme Court.
