Mitsui O.S.K. Lines Ltd v The Ship Yangze 22 (No 2) — Forum Non Conveniens Stay Granted

The Federal Court of Australia permanently stayed admiralty proceedings commenced by Mitsui O.S.K. Lines Ltd and Protea Navigation Inc against the vessel Yangze 22 on 28 April 2025, finding Australia a clearly inappropriate forum for the dispute arising from a 30 December 2024 collision in Chinese territorial waters. The key factual driver was the substantial difference in limitation funds—24,980,987 SDRs (approximately USD 34.5 million) under Australian law versus 6,903,375 SDRs under PRC law—with parallel proceedings already before the Shanghai Maritime Court. The plaintiffs were ordered to pay the defendant's costs.
