Question 2970Deck General70% to pass
A maritime lien may be placed against _______________.
AI Explanation
You are correct, the answer A) a vessel, cargo, or freight is the correct answer.
A maritime lien can be placed against a vessel, its cargo, or freight. This means that a creditor can claim a legal interest in the vessel, cargo, or freight to secure a debt or claim against the owner or operator of the vessel. This is a key feature of maritime law and allows creditors to recover unpaid debts even if the vessel leaves the jurisdiction.
The other options are incorrect because a maritime lien cannot be placed against just any assets the owner may have (option B), and it does not apply to fixed, immovable objects like wharves (option C). The lien is specifically tied to the vessel, cargo, or freight (option A).
