Vessels' collision, contact with fixed/floating objects
Our
company frequently handles matters connected with vessels' collision in port
harbour or territorial waters, vessels' contacts with port piers, cranes and
other fix and floating structures.
To
avoid undue vessel's delay, her detention or arrest we as local P&I
Correspondent hold negotiations with the third parties persuading them to accept
the guarantee issued by a P&I Club or Insurance Company, where the
shipowner's liability is covered, before indemnity for actual damages is
provided.
Such
cases are governed by the Russian Federation Merchant Shipping Code, the Russian
Federation Civil Code and the Russian Federation Arbitration Code of Procedure
and require representing shipowners' interests in their relations with the third
parties, in Harbour Master's Office and at Arbitration Courts.
The
attendant problem is the difficulty in achieving agreement with the third party
on the form and amount of the security required.
To get detailed information on the above question or consultations on a particular case you may contact us.
