International, v. M/V Olympia Voyager, Case No. 03-62225-CV-JIC,
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE ELEVENTH CIRCUIT,
Decided 1/12/06, RULES OF THE ELEVENTH CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS
MAY LIMIT CITATION TO UNPUBLISHED OPINONS. PLEASE REFER TO
THE RULES OF THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THIS
CIRCUIT.
For Intervenor-Plaintiff-Appellant: Michael T. Moore, Scott
A. Wagner
OVERVIEW: A telecommunications service provider,
Monaco Telcon, sought to enforce, by writ of arrest, a maritime
lien against two cruise ships the Olympic Voyager and the
Olympic Explorer. Unfortunately for Monaco Telcom the contract
under which the services were provided for the application
of English Law. Under English law a maritime lien does not
arise for the provision of necessaries as would be the case
under American Law. The lower court, the Honorable Stanley
Cohn, United States District Court Judge, found that Monaco
Telcom had no maritime lien and therefore whatever claim
or lien it had, said lien or claim would be inferior in priority
to the first preferred maritime lien held by the group of
German banks represented by Moore & Co. The 11th Circuit
Court of Appeals agreed and the lower court's grant of Summary
Judgment in the Bank's favor was affirmed.
