There was no arguable basis to hold the owners liable because the charterparty allocated cargo handling to the charterer, the charterers' agents had no authority to bind the owners, and confirmations by ship officers did not create binding obligations on owners; additionally the ex parte arrest application involved material non-disclosures warranting return of the security.
