A Study On The System Of Admiralty Possessory Lien

The system of admiralty possessory lien is a system applied in the legal relationships of maritime law. It is different from the possessory lien system in civil law. This system is one of the important systems of maritime law. And it is also a system of security rights of maritime law. Though maritime law is one part of the civil law system, the admiralty possessory lien has its own character. But most of the scholars study each lien of the admiralty system respectively. It is necessary to study the system as a whole organism. So, in this paper, I study the system of admiralty possessory lien as a whole with the general theories of civil law and the specialties of maritime law. This paper includes six chapters except the conclusion. The first chapter discusses the conception, the sort and the character of the system of admiralty possessory lien. The other chapters respectively discuss each admiralty possessory lien, such as the ship builder or repairer's possessory lien on ship, the carrier's possessory lien on cargo, the admiralty possessory lien in charter party, the tugowner's possessory lien and the salvor's possessory lien.
