The Case
An Italian company specializing in electronics, had commissioned a supply of goods to a well-known Chinese manufacturer with which the company was regularly doing business.
The goods were regularly shipped but during the sailing there was a fire on the ship.
The incident caused serious damage to the ship and also to part of the material purchased by the Italian company, making it useless for commercial purposes.
Despite the news of the incident on board the ship was public, the Italian company became a debtor to the Chinese supplier for a total amount of one million dollars.
It was also included on a “Blacklist” that prevented her from operating on the Chinese market
