This area covers using a mortgage to secure a loan over a ship and related rights, usually under maritime and commercial law. A solicitor drafts and registers the ship mortgage, checks title to the vessel, and coordinates the fixed charge against the ship’s registration. They advise on priority among competing charges, draft covenants, and prepare steps to enforce or discharge the mortgage, including potential sale of the ship if the loan is not repaid. The work is shaped by the ship’s registration, owner structure, and any related port or flag-state requirements.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

A ship mortgage creates a secured interest over the vessel, with attention to registration, priority against other encumbrances, and the consequences of default. The solicitor handles drafting the mortgage and related documents, advises on the effect of registrations and releases, and coordinates enforcement or discharge, including potential sale or disposal under court or charterparty processes.
