Ship arrest in Egypt

A jurisdiction that rewards preparation

Egyptian maritime courts can grant a vessel arrest within hours of a properly prepared application, but the procedure is unforgiving of error. Documentation, translations, and port coordination must move in parallel.

Our practice exists to do exactly that, in every commercial port from Alexandria to Sokhna. We also act on the defence side, securing prompt releases where claims are unfounded or excessive.
