The shipping agent agreed to pay 80 per cent of the rental costs, full servicing charges, and for the lost items. They were given 14 days to make the payment. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
