Through a New York court, Norden seeks that a “judgment be entered against the defendants in the sum of $5,273,184.44 and the proceeds of the assets attached be applied in satisfaction thereof.”

In another case, Oldendorff Carriers is claiming $3.42m from Grand China Shipping (Hong Kong) for breach of similar maritime contracts.
Grand China had failed to make charter payments for the 180,000 dwt bulker K Daphne, which was owned by Korea Line Corporation (KLC).

Grand China sub-chartered the vessel to Oldendorff for a time charter period of nine to 11 months. When KLC withdrew K Daphne from the service of Grand China due to the latter's non-payment, Oldendorff claimed it was unable to fulfill a contract of affreightment for the transportation of cargoes from Norway to Saudi Arabia.
