Maritime Liens on Ships Arise in Favour of the Ship's Crew, and Not in Favour of the Employer
Vesna Skorupan Wolff
Abstract
Maritime liens on a sea-going ship exist for claims arising from contributions for social insurance of the ship’s crew. Maritime liens on ships arise in favour of the ship’s crew, and not in favour of the employer or the person who pays the salary on his behalf. The Republic of Croatia as a creditor, belongs to the category of other creditors under Article 912. 1.4 of the Maritime Code, which means that its claims are not secured by maritime privilege. Maritime liens on a ship cease to exist after the expiration of one year. The time period is counted from the discharge of the ship’s crew. After the expiration of one year, the absolute termination of the privilege occurs, which means that the right of lien no longer belongs to any subject.
