What do businessmen denounce?

According to the complaint, various Mexican businessmen have denounced this type of practices by the company CH OFFSHORE LTD, in which the Singapore company always benefits when lawsuits are filed before the Arbitration Court of that nation, eliminating any possibility of having a fair trial for their counterparts.

The affected Mexican clients highlight that the Singapore company requires the establishment of a rent payment clause that, regardless of whether the vessel cannot yet sail for reasons attributable to CH OFFSHORE LTD, its Mexican clients are always obliged to pay them rent.
