Regulation of relations between shipowner and maritime agent

A maritime agent company which has been established and registered in St. Petersburg, has addressed us for development of universal draft of maritime agency agreement. Main issues for consideration were speed of conclusion of contract, security for payment of reward, unacceptability of occurrence of debt, right to arrest the vessel even if it has been sold to person not liable to a maritime agent.
