The Singapore High Court recently clarified whether a ship may be arrested as security for a claim
subject to a foreign court action. In the EUROHOPE the court characterised such an arrest as an abuse
of process and over-turned the arrest which, in the future, may give rise to a claim for damages for
wrongful arrest: DSA Constultancy (FZC) v The “EUROHOPE” [2017] SGHC 218.
