Romy Mattens and Renate Punt-Huizer have published an article in the July 2026 issue of FIP (Tijdschrift Financiering, Zekerheden en Insolventierechtpraktijk), one of the leading Dutch journals on finance, security rights and insolvency law.
The article provides a comprehensive overview of security rights in ship financing under Dutch law, covering the ship mortgage, supplementary security packages and enforcement procedures, including executory sale and its cleansing effect. It also addresses the international dimension of ship financing, including forum shopping, conflict-of-laws issues, and the Beijing Convention, which entered into force on 17 February 2026.
The piece offers practical guidance on a financing structure that sits at the intersection of Dutch property law, maritime law and private international law.
