In a recent announcement from the Singapore Supreme Court, interested parties have been formally invited to submit bids for the acquisition of the vessel 'Sea Longitude' through a private treaty. This bidding process comes in accordance with a Court Order issued on June 11, 2020. Bids are required to be in United States Dollars, accompanied by a deposit of $50,000 in the form of a local banker's draft made payable to 'The Sheriff Of Singapore'. Participants must ensure their bids are submitted in a sealed envelope clearly labeled 'Tender for Sea Longitude' and directed to the Sheriff's Office, Legal Registry, Level 2, 1 Supreme Court Lane, Singapore 178879. All submissions must reach the office by 1500 hours on Tuesday, July 28, 2020, to be considered valid. It's important to note that any bids lacking the requisite deposit will be disqualified. For unsuccessful bidders, the deposit will be refunded. The sale will proceed on an 'as is where is' basis, adhering to the Sheriff's standard sale terms and conditions. Furthermore, all bids will remain open for consideration for a period of three months from the bidding conclusion date.

On March 31, 2020, at precisely 4:30 p.m., the Singapore Supreme Court took decisive action, arresting the tanker 'Sea Longitude'. The esteemed law firm Allen & Gledhill LLP represented the interests behind the arrest. The vessel was anchored at the Eastern Special Purpose Anchorage A/5517B when the court order was executed.

On March 5, 2015, a maritime incident unfolded on the Houston Ship Channel when the container vessel m/v 'Monte Alegre', arriving from Altamira, collided with the chemical tanker 'Chembulk Houston'. The collision occurred at approximately 1:55 PM, just south of Eagle Point near San Leon, Texas. As a result of the incident, authorities closed the Houston Ship Channel between buoys 26 and 42 until 3:00 PM to ensure the safety of navigation. Fortunately, both vessels sustained only minor damages. At the time of the collision, they were making their way towards port, and following the incident, each ship successfully docked at their respective terminals. The 'Monte Alegre' arrived at Barbours Cut Terminal at 11:40 PM, while the 'Chembulk Houston', which had recently departed from Ilha da Conceicao in Rio de Janeiro, reached Morgans Point Pier at 11:45 PM.
