The Netherlands is a suitable jurisdiction to enforce claims against ships. The arrest of vessels is a broadly used manner to obtain payment or security for a long outstanding claim.

With a certain frequency seagoing vessels are sold before the Dutch Courts through a judicial sale by public auction.
