دور وسائل التقاضي الاختيارية في حل منازعات الحجز التحفظي على السفن

Abstract EN

The optional litigation is one of the essential means for settlement of maritime disputes.

Among these disputes is the precautionary arrest of seagoing ships which is one of untrusted situations between operators.

In addition, this situation increases both the cost of maritime activity and the risk of international trade.

Moreover, the optional litigation is an arbitrary alternative for judicial means for dispute settlement of ship arrest.

Conventions of Brussels (1952) and Geneva (1999) on arrest of ships are adopted internationally and locally in the Algerian maritime code.

Therefore, the Algerian law treated the maritime disputes especially those concerning ship precautionary arrest.

This law leads to trust the ship owners and allows thereby development of international trade.

Algeria created in this framework a center for commercial and maritime arbitration and enacted the relevant laws for optional legislation in case of maritime disputes.
