Maritime Lien

Read a random definition: parliamentary

A quick definition of Maritime Lien:

Maritime Lien: A type of lien that comes from admiralty law and doesn't always need a contract or local law to exist. These liens stick to the property itself, usually a ship or boat, and can still be in effect even if the property is sold to someone who didn't know about the lien.

A more thorough explanation:

Maritime Lien

A maritime lien is a type of lien that arises from admiralty law and does not necessarily require a contract or local statute to exist. These liens attach to the property itself, usually a ship or other seafaring vessel, and can remain in effect even after the property is sold to a new owner.

One example of a maritime lien is a claim for unpaid wages by a crew member. If a crew member is not paid for their work on a ship, they may file a maritime lien against the ship itself. This lien would remain in effect even if the ship is sold to a new owner.

Another example of a maritime lien is a claim for damages caused by a ship. If a ship causes damage to another vessel or property, the owner of the damaged property may file a maritime lien against the ship that caused the damage. This lien would also remain in effect even if the ship is sold to a new owner.

Maritime liens are unique in that they attach to the property itself, rather than the owner of the property. This means that even if the property is sold to a new owner, the lien remains in effect. The examples provided illustrate how maritime liens can arise from various situations, such as unpaid wages or damages caused by a ship. In both cases, the lien would remain in effect even if the ship is sold to a new owner.
