A new trend is emerging in India where seafarers who have been injured on the job are utilizing admiralty arrests of vessels owned by their former employers to ensure payment of compensation claims. According to lawyers in the country, there have been multiple instances of aggrieved seafarers obtaining arrest warrants under admiralty jurisdiction through the Indian courts.
This practice allows seafarers to take legal action against their employers to secure the compensation they are owed for injuries sustained while working at sea. By utilizing admiralty arrests, seafarers are able to hold their employers accountable and seek the financial recompense they deserve for their injuries.
The use of admiralty arrests by Indian seafarers represents a strategic approach to settling injury compensation claims and highlights the importance of legal recourse in ensuring fair treatment and compensation for those who have been injured while working at sea.
