[BEIJING] A Shanghai court has ordered the seizure of a Japanese iron ore carrier from Mitsui OSK Lines Ltd as compensation for the loss of two ships leased from a Chinese company before the two countries went to war.

The 226,434-tonne Baosteel Emotion was seized on April 19 at Majishan port in Zhejiang province, the Shanghai Maritime Court said in a notice on its website.

The ship, built in 2011, is a 320-metre-long ore carrier and is now docked at Majishan, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
