Owners’ security for charterers’ obligations
30.1
Clause 18 of the New York Produce form gives the owners two rights of ‘lien’ with which they can enforce their rights to hire and other sums due under the charter: first, a lien over the cargo on board and second, a ‘lien’ over any freights earned by charterers or sub-charterers during the period of the charter.
