With a US court settlement that could ultimately provide the shipping company with USD 300.000 from bankrupt tanker carrier OSG, J. Lauritzen has locked its claim against the American shipping company, which is under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

Had the case been prolonged, the shipping company's demand could have wound up at smaller sum and with additional expenses related to the case, which stems from OSG's breach of a charter contract for the product tanker Freja Taurus, which was returned to J. Lauritzen early from a three-year contract with OSG.
