Denmark's
Monjasa's victory in a court case brought against it by
Stena Oil over the sale of a bunker fuel cargo in
Sao Tome and Principe in
2013.
After a tanker carrying a bunker cargo for Stena was arrested and its cargo confiscated in Sao Tome in 2013, Monjasa bought the cargo from the local authorities.
Stena argued that it still owned the cargo, and that Monjasa should compensate it about
$6.5 million for its loss. The claim was defeated in the
Danish High Court in March 2020, and the Supreme Court announced on Tuesday that it had come to the same decision.
