Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Star-Kilimanjaro

A legal battle has emerged as China Pacific Property Insurance Co. LTD, headquartered in Shanghai, initiates a lawsuit against the container ship 'Star Kilimanjaro' for alleged cargo damage. The complaint was filed on January 15, 2016, in the Houston Division of the Southern District of Texas.

According to court documents, upon its arrival on October 19, 2014, the cargo was found to be significantly compromised, with many items reported as dented, bent, flattened, or otherwise damaged. The financial implications are substantial, with the damage totaling $53,181.93, in addition to accrued interest from the initial shipping date.
