<h1>Maritime liens allow forced sale of ships for payment without requiring possession or property rights</h1> A maritime lien is a privileged claim against a ship that travels with the vessel, allowing forced sale for payment. Unlike other liens, it requires no possession or property rights and is enforced through in rem proceedings against the ship itself. Indian law lacks statutory definition but follows English precedents and international conventions. Maritime liens typically arise from ship damage, salvage, seamen's wages, master's wages and disbursements, and bottomry/respondentia. The Supreme Court recognized these as part of international common law supplementing Indian maritime legislation. Maritime liens differ from maritime claims, representing a specific subset of privileged maritime obligations.
