Frequently asked questions

Can I arrest a ship in the UAE?

Yes, for recognised maritime claims and subject to court approval. Timing matters, and we can prepare the application in advance of arrival.

Which law applies to my shipping contract?

It depends on your bill of lading or charter party. Many choose English law and London arbitration, but UAE courts may still have jurisdiction over certain claims.
