Berlingieri on Arrest of Ships (Lloyd's Shipping Law Library) - Tapa dura

This book is an invaluable source of information about the claims in respect of which a ship may be arrested in the various maritime countries of the world, the conditions for obtaining an order of arrest, the need, if any, for a security, the manner by which the ship that has been arrested may be released, the possibility of a multiple arrest and the jurisdiction on the merits.
