Reeder arrested due to unpaid debts
The "Baltic Performer" was arrested on May 28, 2019, upon its arrival in Campana following a Court ruling on unpaid debt claims filed by the San Pedro Port company against the managing company Baltic Shippng. In July 2018 the master of the reefer had requested extra workers and extra loading hours after a week’s delay, caused by rain and a broken crane. His request was met, but the subsequent payment of $60,000 wasn’t made to date. The reefer, however, was not the ship involved in the incident, so it was a provisional arrest on a sister ship. The ship will remain detained until either the debt and court expenses have been paid or a deposit placed.
