Berlingieri on Arrest of Ships Volume I

Now presented in two convenient volumes, the sixth edition of Berlingieri on Arrest of Ships is an invaluable source of information, detailing the claims in respect of which a ship may be arrested, the conditions for obtaining an order of arrest, the need for a security, the manner by which the ship that has been arrested may be released, the possibility of a multiple arrest, and the jurisdiction on the merits.

Focused on the 1952 Arrest Convention, Volume I provides a unique, thorough, and updated commentary. It analyses each provision with reference to its interpretation in a significant number of States Parties. Moreover, the original comments have been reviewed based on the Travaux Préparatoires of the Convention, which the author has collected and arranged under each article. In addition, the Travaux Préparatoires are now included as a new and important appendix to the volume.

Written by a renowned expert in the field and analysing the various conventions relating to the arrest of ships in an article-by-article and paragraph manner, this book is a useful reference tool for practitioners, as well as academics and postgraduate students of maritime law.
