A Russian ship carrying cargo for the Indian armed forces was detained at the port due to a lawsuit against the ship's owners from an Estonian company.

On Tuesday, July 19, the Russian Embassy in India announced the detention of a Russian cargo ship in the Indian port of Kochi and demanded an explanation of the incident.

The New Arab reports this.

"Russian Embassy in India is aware of the Russian cargo ship detention in the Indian port of Cochin, on board of which a military cargo for the Indian Armed Forces was delivered," the Russian embassy said in a statement.

According to preliminary information, these actions are connected with the lawsuit of the Estonian shore service company Bunker Partner OU, which claims that the ship's owners have a debt. At the same time, the court allowed the ship's unloading, as this is not related to the lawsuit.

Meanwhile, the Russian Embassy sent an official request to the Indian Foreign Ministry to clarify the circumstances of the incident.

"The Embassy has sent to the Ministry of External Affairs of India an official request for an explanation of the circumstances of the incident. We have also asked the Ministry to ensure unconditional observance of the rights of the Russian ship-owners and crew," the Russian diplomats informed.

Recall that the ports of all EU countries closed access for Russian ships.
