    S1 E12 - Maritime Law & Ship Arrests

    In this episode, we break down the legal machinery behind admiralty and maritime claims—especially the difference between in rem actions against a ship and in personam claims against a person or company. We explain when a vessel can be arrested, why maritime liens can bite even without personal liability, and how statutory claims usually need a clear connection to an owner or charterer. We also unpack what happens when jurisdictions collide: time bars, claim priorities, sale proceeds, and the court tools—like stays and anti-suit injunctions—that stop arbitration breaches and forum shopping. Finally, we look at when courts may pierce the corporate veil or apply sovereign immunity, shaping who is truly on the hook in cross-border disputes.

    S1 E11 - Brazil's Biofouling Regulations NORMAM-401/DPC

    NORMAM-401/DPC, Chapter 4, outlines Brazil's regulations for biofouling management on vessels, aiming to mitigate the introduction of non-native aquatic species into Brazilian Jurisdictional Waters. These rules, based on International Maritime Organisation (IMO) guidelines, primarily apply to vessels over 24 meters in length, with exemptions for smaller craft and certain government or platform support vessels. The core requirements mandate that applicable vessels must maintain a Biofouling Management Plan and Biofouling Logbook, detailing inspection, cleaning, and maintenance of anti-fouling systems. Furthermore, the standards establish strict procedures for in-water cleaning, which must generally be requested in advance and include residue capture, particularly when a vessel's fouling level exceeds micro-fouling. Finally, the text details penalties and sanctions for non-compliance, alongside the administrative procedures for handling environmental infractions.
