China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC) has settled a dispute with Norwegian owner Torvald Klaveness relating to deficiencies on a bulker built by CSSC Chengxi.

Torvald Klaveness claimed that 2013-built, 71,400 dwt panamax bulker Balto had torsional vibration damper issues shortly after delivery, and filed an arbitration against CSSC Chengxi and supplier Doosan in 2016.

Following several rounds of negotiations, CSSC has agreed to pay $875,000 to Torvald Klaveness to settle the dispute.

The vessel was sold to Canadian owner CSL in 2016 and renamed CSL Tarantau.
