That system of law which relates to the affairs of the sea, such as seamen, ships, shipping, navigation, and the like.
Maritime lien
A secured claim against a ship (and sometimes against cargo or bunkers) in respect of services provided to the vessel or damages done by it. A maritime lien is a substantive right in the property of another, derived from the general maritime law (supra) and rooted in the civil law concept of a "privilège". It arises without notice, registration or other formalities, at the time the services are rendered or the damages are done. Unlike a common law possessory lien (infra), it does not depend for its existence on the possession of the res by the creditor. It travels with the ship, so as to encumber the title of subsequent owners or possessors and survives the conventional sale of the vessel. It remains inchoate from the moment it attaches, until it is enforced by an action in rem, when it relates back to the time it first attached. In the U.K. and British Commonwealth countries, it ranks after special legislative rights (infra), the costs of arrest and sale and custodia legis expenses (supra) and before ship mortgages (infra) and statutory rights in rem (infra).
