Stephen Kenny KC will be speaking as part of a panel on “Liens on sub-hires, redirection of bill of lading freight & liens on cargo: Shipowners’ self-help remedies” for LSLC’s next event on Wednesday 22 October – 7KBW is delighted to be sponsoring the seminar.
The Right Honourable Sir Julian Flaux, Chancellor of the High Court, will chair the event, and Stephen will be joined on the panel by Thor Maalouf, Partner, Reed Smith and Mark Jones, Barrister, 36 Stone.
The event seeks to clarify the workings of various self-help remedies which may be the shipowner’s first port of call in cases where it is owned monies by its charterer. The expert panel will consider the circumstances in which a shipowner may exercise a lien on sub-freights and sub-hires; call for the redirection of bill of lading freight; and lien cargoes at the port of delivery.
Specific issues for discussion:
- What are liens on sub-freights and sub-hires, when and how are they effective, and when are they ineffective?
- When and how can an owner of a chartered ship recover bill of lading freight from those liable for it? What is the effect in this connection of bills of lading being marked “freight pre-paid”?
- Will charterparty clauses providing for liens on cargoes always bind the consignee?
