The firm is currently acting as adviser to a vessel owner against whom proceedings have been initiated before the Maltese courts for a claim exceeding 3 million Euros. The claimants have requested the Maltese courts to issue an order prohibiting the transfer of the vessel as well as the registration of any mortgages on the vessel. Our Maritime team together with our litigation lawyers are making detailed submissions to the court for such request and any orders made by court to be withdrawn. Simultaneously, we are in constant communication with clients and claimants, in order to ensure an out of court settlement.
