Ships must slow down in some channels to prevent their wakes from damaging property. The Sabine Pass Port Authority alleges its property was damaged by one ship that failed to follow the rules.
The SPPA filed a suit Aug. 23 in Jefferson County (Tx) District Court against Gearbulk USA because its vessel Kestral Arrow allegedly failed to take steps necessary to reduce its wake, the Southeast Texas Record reported.
The date of the incident was not stated in the lawsuit.
SPPA is suing the defendant for punitive and exemplary damages for alleged gross negligence due to the vessel allegedly transiting at a high rate of speed, resulting in unspecified property damage.
