Freighter in Hock for Fueling and Fleeing

We have been shocked by the price at the pump this summer---$50 to gas up just the other day! Still, that’s no excuse to bail without paying. But that is what the owners of a freighter docked just around the corner from Chicago in Burns Harbor, IN are accused of doing, to the tune of more than $500,000. Unsurprisingly, the fuel suppliers are miffed. A Singapore company left holding the bill has filed a federal law suit to repossess and sell the M/V Rosaire A. Desgagnes to cover the costs. We cannot wait to see what the State of Indiana uses to boot this thing in the meantime!
