As stated in our welcome page, shiparrested.com’s aim is to promote expertise and good practise on ship arrest services. For these purposes, the network welcomes law firms to guide shiparrested.com users as to local arrest practise worldwide.

We encourage therefore the law firms registered at shiparrested.com to briefly describe, by way of online short articles, the local requirements needed to arrest or release a vessel, as for instance:

1. Arrest conventions and laws applicable
2. Time bars
3. Power of Attorney
4. Bank Guarantee (guidance as to the amount requested by the Courts, drafts)
5. P & I Letter of Indemnity (if admitted)
6. Documentation
7. Bailiff
8. Guidance as to legal fees
9. Competent Courts.

These information will be displayed online, as from May 2001, so that a user/client may obtain at glance all necessary knowledge to ascertain whether an arrest is worth undertaking and /or contesting, thus gaining security and promoting ship arrest expertise.
