    Case Summary Leighton Offshore Eclipse PTE Limited v. DLB Kenenna (IMO 8354562) The Bombay High Court's Commercial Division granted an order for arrest of the defendant vessel on June 1, 2026. Leighton sought vessel arrest to secure approximately USD 18.03 million in claims arising from a charter party agreement, including unpaid charter hire, crew salaries, and equipment costs. Though USD 10.75 million was already secured through pending arbitration, Leighton claimed approximately USD 7.28 million remained unsecured. The court found a prima facie maritime claim under the Admiralty Act, 2017, and established a nexus between the registered owner (Westfield Subsea Ltd) and the real beneficial owner (Westfield Energy Resources Ltd), allowing the in rem action despite concurrent arbitration proceedings. The vessel at Dabhol Port was arrested with a directive to release only upon furnishing security within eight weeks or face auction proceedings.
