Maritime Liens and the Debtors of the Maritime Claims Secured by Maritime Liens

This paper highlights the relationship between maritime liens and the persons against whom the maritime claims secured by maritime liens are made. With reference to the law and practice of some other countries, such as UK, USA, Canada and France, as well as the relevant international conventions, further discussion is focused on the relevant provisions contained in the Maritime Code of the PRC. It is concluded that under the Maritime Code of the PRC, only those maritime claims against the owners, the demise charterers and the operators of the vessel in respect of which the maritime claims arise may be secured by the maritime liens attaching to the vessel.
