Owner\u2019s lien on cargo for unpaid freight<\/h4>\n

When freight has not been paid, Owners \/ Operators need to consider how best to secure their position as against the defaulting party. One of the main traditional options was to seek a lien on cargo for the unpaid freight.<\/p>\n

Exercising liens, however, can be a practically challenging task.<\/p>\n

Key points to the successful exercise of a lien, include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. there must be a right of lien under the charterparty<\/li>\n
  2. that right of lien must also exist in the contract of carriage<\/li>\n
  3. sufficient steps need to be taken to exercise the lien in due time<\/li>\n
  4. the lien must be recognised by the law of the country in which it is sought to be exercised<\/li>\n
  5. there must be practical means of securely holding on to the cargo<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In the article accompanying this update, Ince & Co illustrate the issues of seeking to exercise a lien in the P.R. China. Given the importance of China to maritime trade and the volume of cargo consigned to her ports, it is a frequent topic on which the Association is asked to give advice on for our Members.<\/p>\n

    In case Members have further queries, they are asked to contact the Association: lossprevention@skuld.com<\/a><\/p>\n
