Creta Cargo Lines allegedly acquired laid up ferry
The Creta Cargo Lines have allegedly acquired the 'Med Star', which has been laid up in Piraeus for an extended period, since being sold by Inter Shipping to Northbay Transportes Maritimos in May 2024. The Inter Shipping had operated the ferry between Algeciras and Tanger Med from 2018 to 2023. Delivered as 'Queen Diamond' by the Kurushima Dockyard to Japan’s K.K. Diamond Ferry, it was chartered to a Swedish company between 2013 and 2016 for services between the island of Gotland and the Swedish mainland under the name 'Västervik'. The Creta Cargo Lines had yet to confirm that it was the new operator of ship. The company, which operates between Crete and the Greek mainland, currently has two RoPax ferries and three RoRo vessels in its portfolio.
Ship remaining at the centre of legal disputes in Gibraltar
The 'Med Star' is remaining at the centre of legal disputes in Gibraltar following its arrest in Dec 2023 and the court-ordered sale in April 2024. However some creditors have now been paid from the proceeds of the sale. The Supreme Court has awarded just over £130,000 to MH Bland for unpaid maritime services, including towage, pilotage and maintenance. The fees will be paid from the proceeds of the sale of ship. The funds are currently held by the Admiralty Marshal. The court rejected an additional claim of just over £155,000 for port dues, citing insufficient evidence of a legal assignment from the Gibraltar Port Authority. A separate application for these funds can anyway be made. The ship was previously the subject of a claim by GibDock in 2023, which led to its arrest and subsequent sale in 2024. The crew have also pursued claims against its former owners, adding further complexity to the case. With competing creditors seeking a share of the ship’s proceeds, including the Moroccan Bank who provided a mortgage to its previous owners, a further judgement is expected to determine the final distribution of funds. The vessel is now owned by the Greek company, European Management Maritime. Report with photo: https://www.gbc.gi/news/legal-battles-over-mv-med-star-continue-gibraltar-court-rules-maritime-claims
Ferry left Gibraltar after ten months
After ten months moored in the port of Gibraltar, the “Med Star”, once owned by the Moroccan company Intershipping, set sail on May 9, 2024, towed by the tug “Christos XXXIV”, headed to Piraeus. The registration port was erased, and the ship did not have a flag. During the departure maneuver the ferry was assisted by the tugs “Rooke” and “Eliott”. Since January 2023 it was moored in the port of Algeciras, frequently detained due to excessive smoke problems and suffering from the financial problems of its owner.
