The Demerara Harbour Bridge Corporation (DHB) has filed a more than $1b lawsuit against the Panama-registered ship which it said caused extensive damage to its four spans in the collision earlier this month which resulted in the bridge being out of operation for just over 48 hours.
The bridge company in its statement of claim against the ship—the Tradewind Passion—which is listed as the Defendant is seeking special damages in the sum of one billion dollars and general damages it says for “negligence” in excess of $50,000,000.
