L’étude autour des mécanismes de protection des créanciers maritimes en
Congolese law aims to protect said creditors, apart from the insurance regime and
sûretés maritimes, par la création d’une institution et/ou une agence voire une société de
recovery of maritime debts which will aim to group customers together
having suffered losses and damages on the ship in order to better defend them. Despite the recourse to the guarantee request of the shipowners' clubs for a
montant donné, l’étude vise à sécuriser davantage le créancier maritime pour leur accorder
specific guarantees. This maritime debt recovery institution which will be inserted
dans le code de navigation maritime, dans la pratique maritime, permet de s’accorder avec
lawyers' offices and/or bailiffs in order to better carry out seizures
conservatoires des navires et, le cas échéant, au paiement par voie d’un organisme
banking. Branches in foreign ports will be able to initiate the procedure for
find the damaged vessel and order forced recovery against said vessel.
