Ship arrest

topic

Vessels are a moving asset. In cases where a seagoing vessel constitutes the asset at stake of a breach and/or security, the remedy available as to the asset is to file an arrest claim in order to enforce a judgement/arbitration award. An arrest claim can be filed internationally, for a vessel to be arrested upon arrival at the port of calling. A ship arrest claim can have its basis on an exhaustive list of the grounds, among which maritime liens, non-payment of mortgage etc.
