The Panama-flagged bulk carrier Traverse Antwerp (77,075 DWT) was arrested in Singapore at 2:24 PM local time on Friday, 16 October 2026. Ship & Bunker reported on 20 October that the ship appears on the Singapore judiciary’s published list of detained vessels. The vessel is being held at Eastern Bunkering Anchorage B.

According to Ship & Bunker, Titanium Law Chambers LLC is the law firm on whose behalf the arrest was made. The report does not name the claimant the firm acts for. No reason for the arrest was given.

Typical Grounds for Ship Arrests

Ship & Bunker noted that arrests of this kind usually stem from maritime claims, such as disputes over unpaid bunker supplies or other operational services. The report does not say whether either applies to Traverse Antwerp.
