Algerian maritime law


    Our firm is active in Algerian maritime law, principally in the realms of trade, chartering and international sales. We advise clients on drafting contracts that are at least partially governed by Algerian maritime law. We are thus active in all aspects of the life of a ship (finance, construction, use, and arrest.)

In addition, our practice focuses on arresting vessels in Algeria Jurisdiction on behalf of clients for security for a maritime claim made or to satisfy a judgment.

The arrest or threat of an arrest of a vessel is a powerful weapon which, if implemented can cause severe disruption to a vessel and her owners. Conversely under Algerian maritime law it is only legally possible to arrest a vessel if certain criteria are met.

Our Algerian maritime lawyers have an attested expertise in the field of arrest and attachment of vessels under Algerian Jurisdiction.
