CROSS-CHANNEL PORT - Speed One immobilized in the port of Boulogne-sur-Mer

Published on 10.11.08

Due to an important payment delay by SpeedFerries referring to port dues the shipbroker acting for the account of Chamber of Commerce had obtained since some time the agreement of the Commerce Tribunal an ordnance abling him to seize the ship in view to be paid.

The General Management of Speedferries has been advised by the Chamber of Commerce of this act long ago and has taken no measure after many promises.

Consequently the ship broker has taken the decision yesterday night to proceed to the seizing of the ship to guarantee the payments.

Speedone is immobilized in the port of Boulogne up to a agreement with SpeedFerries.

The Chamber of Commerce is opened to all solutions to solve favourably and rapidly this problem in view to resume the service as soon as possible.
