Can
a missing and presumed stolen boat be posted on the
site?
|
|
| A. |
Yes! This
is a very important category and the www.marineliens.com
site will be searched by users worldwide. The site will
be instrumental in the deterring of stolen boats. If
a stolen boat is discovered it will be important to
notify the local authorities or a reputable marine surveyor.
If for some reason neither of these assist you, we offer
a link to the directory of International Association
of Marine Investigators at www.iamimarine.org
.

How
can one determine a hull identification number on a
vessel whose number has been obliterated?
|
|
| A. |

be able to help you, contact the International Association

Can
a contractor post more than one lien on the site?
|
|
| A. |
Yes! Each
contractor/user can post as many claims as he has. A
user may post a claim for each outstanding contract

only that claim would be released while the others remain.

|
Can
a broker post a claim for commission on Marineliens.com?
|
|
| A. |
Yes!
To protect himself the broker may post a claim on the
site upon the signing of the listing agreement. The
broker should advise the owner of the process. By doing
so may discourage the owner from selling the vessel
outside of the listing agreement. The broker may also
tell each buyer of the posting on the site to further
discourage the potential buyer for trying to purchase
without the broker.
However, it must be clear that brokerage commissions
may not be considered a maritime claim.
