Dhaka, Dec. 26: Bangladesh authorities have detained Indian ship MV Ocean Pearl after a court issued an “arrest order” over a suit claiming compensation for the alleged loss of cargo.
The ship has been detained at Patenga, 14 km south of the port city of Chittagong, the New Age reported on Sunday. A cargo supplier has sought a compensation of over $27,000. The ship has also been accused of leaking oil into the sea. The vessel was detained after the arrest order was issued by the High Court. The department of environment in Chittagong on Thursday served a show cause notice to Sigma Shipping Ltd, the local agent of the ship, for spilling oil along the coastline, officials said.
