If you have a claim or a dispute by which admiralty jurisdiction can be invoked to arrest a ship in India please feel free to email, write or call us to check if admiralty jurisdiction can be invoked. You may also check with us if you intend arresting a ship outside India.
A ship can be arrested anywhere in India under admiralty jurisdiction by obtaining order of arrest from the High Court having admiralty jurisdiction. Our shipping team tracks the vessel to be arrested, strategises, prepares the pleadings for ship arrest, files the suit alongwith application for arrest, appears for order of arrest and completes the arrest procedures and also appears from time to time .
