Ship Arrest and Security for Maritime Claims

Advice and representation in ship arrest matters and applications for security in support of maritime claims

Ship arrest and other forms of security are often decisive in maritime disputes. In practice, the effectiveness of a maritime claim frequently depends on whether protective measures can be obtained in time. This is especially relevant in shipping, where vessels are mobile, counterparties may be located abroad, and delay may undermine the claimant’s position.

Such matters require urgent action, careful legal analysis and a clear procedural strategy. Where a dispute has a cross-border element, we coordinate with local counsel in the relevant jurisdictions. In Ukraine, our lawyers are able to act directly in ship arrest and release proceedings, including in the Black Sea ports (Mykolaiv, Kherson, Pivdennyi, Odesa and Chornomorsk) and Danube ports, including Izmail and Reni.

We assist clients in evaluating the availability of ship arrest and other security measures, and in structuring an effective strategy for securing or resisting maritime claims. Our work includes advice on arrest, release, counter-security and related procedural steps, as well as representation in proceedings connected with maritime claim protection.

Our Approach

Deep knowledge of law and the industry

Rabomizo works with the norms of international maritime law and national maritime codes of various jurisdictions, grounded in a deep understanding of shipping operations and the commercial realities of the industry.

Experience in dispute resolution in international jurisdictions

We have represented clients in London, Greece, Turkey, Ukraine, Switzerland, Oman and other jurisdictions.

Rapid response in crisis situations

We promptly engage in communication with the parties involved, prepare well-grounded responses and develop a defence and negotiation strategy at any stage of the process.

Understanding of shipping operations

Our solutions take into account not only legal aspects but also the practical side of a shipowner’s or operator’s business. Clients do not need to spend time explaining – we understand the complexity of maritime processes and provide full support.
