ARRESTED livestock carrier the Yangtze Fortune, now a part of the furniture in the Portland Bay anchorage, has been sold for the sum of US$8.5, though who will get their hands on a share of the cash remains unclear.

The legal proceedings brought by what is now seven parties claiming debts owed by the Liberian flagged ship’s Chinese owners returned to the Federal Court of Australia in Sydney on Friday, February 17, before Justice Angus Stewart.
