Maritime lawyers outlined the legal steps owners could take to secure the release or sale of the Villa Vie Odyssey after the cruise ship was detained in Singapore over an unpaid fuel claim. Court records show the vessel was arrested following a claim by a regional fuel supplier for about $500,000. Earlier reports said the ship was anchored without passengers, leaving more than 200 former residents stranded in Cambodia after the owners, citing high fuel costs, abandoned them.
