Regimul juridic al epavelor maritime. Convenția internațională Nairobi-2009 privind îndepărtarea epavelor
The legal regime of maritime wrecks. The Nairobi International Convention - 2009 regarding the removal of wrecks

Summary/Abstract: On November 24, 2019, the ship 'Queen Hind', under the flag of Palau, carrying 14,600 sheep, ran aground in the waters of the port of Midia. The assistance and rescue operations, the ship's refloating procedure, the forced sale of the ship at public auction, and the distribution of the price resulting from the sale of the QUEEN HIND gave rise to complex and contentious legal relationships between the port authorities, the shipowner, insurers, and other participants in the maritime expedition. They also brought into question the applicability of the 2007 Nairobi International Convention on the Removal of Wrecks and the 1976 Convention on Limitation of Liability for Maritime Claims, both ratified by Romania.
