When arresting a vessel a quick, efficient and cost effective process is required, there are certain ports that are preferred for ships arrests, and courts give urgent attention to Admiralty claims.

We have an expert and dedicated team who are available anywhere in the world 24 hours a day, having experience in arresting and selling on behalf of banks or marine mortgage holders. We have crews on standby to fly out to ensure the safety of the vessel.

Some courts will even make an order for sale by "auction" this speeds up the process and keeps costs to a minimum, if a specified buyer and price are negotiated
