Oct.12-2010 German  cruise operator Delphin Kreuzfahrten has filed for insolvency after its chartered vessel, Delphin Voyager , was arrested by its Greek owner in Piraeus this week in a row over unpaid charter bills. Athens-based Restis Group, better known as a leading dry bulk and tanker owner, said it acted because of the German operator’s "failures time and time again to pay hire". Restis was chasing allegedly unpaid hire for its solitary cruise vessel amounting to €2.4m ($3.4m) as of last week.  Delphin Kreuzfahrten claims that the reconstruction of the vessel was not done as specified in the charter contract and that the owners have failed to correct these shortcomings. As a result, Delphin has cut the charter rate. In order of Restis last month the Delphin being arrested at Villefranche. Cruiseship Delphin belongs to the same German Group. Hansa Kreuzfahrten is related to the same Group and also affected by the insolvency.
