Arresting a vessel, cargo or bunkers in the Netherlands Antilles can be easy and quick. The Netherlands Antilles is party to the Brussels Convention of 1952. Ships flying the flag of one of the contracting states may be arrested for maritime claims. For other flags other claims might be allowed. Burgers Advocaten will make the attachment, negotiate the guarantee and do the proceedings. In the unfortunate case that you have become the arrestee we will give expert advise on the possibilities of having the arrest lifted. As maritime lawyers we handle your maritime claims as to matters of cargo, collision, salvage and repair. We provide legal support to owners, charterers, managers, agents, forwarders, or any other party in connection to the shipping industry.
