Questions

Frequently asked

Ship arrest is an admiralty remedy allowing a claimant to have a vessel detained as security for a maritime claim — it is typically the first step when the shipowner has no other assets within jurisdiction.

Most charterparties and bills of lading specify arbitration or a particular court, so the governing document — not the port of loading or discharge — usually determines the forum.
