KIEV, May 29 - Cypriot White Whale Shipping announced it has detained a batch of new Ukrainian armored personal carriers APC 3E1 at the port of Sattahip (Thailand) shipped by Ukraine to Thailand in March due to the unsettled debt of Ukrainian special exporters for a shipment of Ukrainian APC 4s to Iraq in 2013.

Oleksandr Varvarenko, representative of White Whale Shipping in Odessa, said that the company's Stellar Mastro ship with 13 Ukrainian APC 3E1 has been detained in the port of Sattahip, as Ukrainian exporters owe $700,000 for the shipping of the APC 4s under a contract signed with Iraq and another $170,000 of the accumulated debt for shipping APC 3E1s to Thailand.
