Shipping Companies Seek Exoneration in Eagle S Vessel Case Filed January 1, 2025, Amid Legal Proceedings Starting January 3, 2025

On January 1, 2025, Duane Morris and Blank Rome, representing two international shipping companies, filed a petition in a Maryland federal court seeking exoneration or limited liability for losses or damages attributed to the alleged unseaworthiness of the vessel. This legal action follows claims made by Herman Ljungberg, the attorney representing the crew and shipping company Caravella, who filed a request on January 3, 2025, to overturn the seizure of the ship, accusing authorities of unlawfully detaining it. The case concerning the Eagle S is now before the court, with live coverage of the proceedings expected to begin around 1 PM on January 3, 2025. Ljungberg's comments regarding the case were also broadcasted live later that day.
