US EditionKerala HC Orders Conditional Arrest of MSC Elsa 3’s Sister Ship over Lost Cargo
- On June 19, the Kerala High Court issued an interim directive to detain the Liberian-flagged vessel MSC Polo 2 at Vizhinjam port in connection with claims of cargo loss following the sinking of MSC Elsa-3 near the Kerala coast.
- The arrest followed a maritime claim brought by Sans Cashew India Private Limited, seeking Rs 73.49 lakh in damages for cashew nuts lost when the ship MSC Elsa-3 sank on May 25.
- The court found MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company controlled both vessels, noted the firm had no attachable assets in India, and earlier ordered similar detention of MSC Manasa-F for related claims.
- Justice MA Abdul Hakhim ruled the arrest would be lifted once MSC deposited Rs 73.49 lakh or furnished security, and the matter is scheduled for further hearing on June 23.
- This order aims to secure maritime claims amid environmental and economic impacts from MSC Elsa-3’s sinking, including a government-imposed 20-nautical-mile fishing ban around the wreck.
