Maritime Dispute – Ownership of Vessel – Required documents – Contract of sale – Ship – Official Contract of Sale
The original dispute was a claim by a vessel owner for revenue which had been generated but not paid to them by a vessel manager. The key issue was that the owner was unable to prove his ownership of the vessel to the court. This case detailed the documentation which was required to do so and that a vessel must be sold under an official contract of sale.
