Ship Arrests

Strategically placed for both the Mediterranean and Atlantic shipping lanes, Gibraltar is the third busiest bunkering port in Europe. Due to this fact the level of ship arrests in Gibraltar has increased dramatically and therefore litigation in this area has flourished.

In addition to its three yacht marinas, the harbour can also cater for larger vessels, such as cruise liners and supertankers.

Although the Supreme Court of Gibraltar has jurisdiction over Gibraltar Waters, the Admiralty Laws are similar to those of the United Kingdom.

Marrache & Co. represent a variety of international owners, cargo interests and banking institutions with vessel-oriented businesses and claims and is active in the registration of vessels in Gibraltar.
