The ship, when seen as a separate asset, is treated by the law in a special way, when the general rules of civil procedures are applied accordingly through specific provisions, which address the individual issues that arise from the ship about claims' satisfaction. The object of this thesis is the investigation of various cases that concern the property law, and the particularities of provisions of common law, when applied in the context of maritime law, in order to allow the satisfaction of the seafarers' lenders. In particular, this case concerns the maritime mortgage as opposed to the preferred mortgage on the vessel, and also the satisfaction of the lenders due to the institution of maritime privileges, which ensure a preferential treatment of their claims. There is also the case of seizure, as a kind of interim measures and as a means of enforcement, in order to make the debtor capable to satisfy the claims of his lender. At last, it was necessary to refer to the auctioning of the ship, where there is genuine satisfaction of the creditors - lenders, due to the individual peculiarities of this process.
