Residential cruise ship Villa Vie Odyssey has been held in Singapore under a court order

The Villa Vie Odyssey, the residential cruise container that abruptly halted operations in Cambodia in delayed October, has been held in Singapore under a court order.

The container arrived in Singapore on Sunday and is now anchored in the country's harbor waters, the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore told Business Insider in a statement.

"The container has been placed under apprehension pursuant to a court order," the declaration said. "The squad onboard are reported to be well, and arrangements for their benefit and wellbeing are being managed by the vessel's creditors. There are no passengers on board."

In Singapore, container arrests are civic admiralty proceedings: a court can command the Sheriff to clasp a container as safety for a claimant's lawful claim.

The Odyssey is listed on the Singapore Judiciary's catalog of vessels under Sheriff's arrest, although the listing does not disclose the underlying claim. The arresting solicitor, Helmsman LLC, did not immediately react to a petition for comment.

The court act comes small than two weeks following Villa Vie Residences suspended the ship's operations during it was docked in Sihanoukville, Cambodia, citing steep increases in energy costs.

Passengers who said to Business Insider stated the final months aboard were marked by repeated requests for prosperity from management, assistance cutbacks, and continual itinerary changes. When the container suspended operations, they stated they were stated lone eight hours to disembark.

A collection of residents afterward made a last-ditch effort to buy the Odyssey and keep it operating, but the scheme cut through.
