Heading: The MV Falcon Confidence’s arrest

Text: Continuing its effort to secure its claim against Falcon Carrier Shipping, Nadella arrested another ship, the MV Falcon Confidence (“Confidence”), in South Africa in 2019. The Confidence is owned by Newbrook’s subsidiary Falcon Confidence Shipping 2 While we need not dive deep into South African maritime law, roughly speaking, an “associated” ship is one that is owned by the same person or company who owned the “ship concerned” during the time the claim arose. Admiralty Jurisdiction Regulation Act 105 of 1983 § 7. 3 Global Marketing asked that we supplement the record by taking judicial notice of the April 2021 order by the South African court. We grant that request. 5 Limited. 4 Nadella and Falcon Confidence Shipping are now litigating in South African courts whether the Confidence is an associated vessel to the Carrier. As Newbrook and Falcon Confidence Shipping contend that the vessels are unrelated, they have alleged that the arrest was wrongful.
