Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 2089

The regulation of the practice of ship agency in the Maritime Commercial Code is intended to enable interested parties to enforce judgments obtained by them against foreign carriers. This regulation does not affect the provisions governing how agency is formed, terminated and proved. - The bank guarantee or cash deposit which the ship agent is obliged to deposit with a bank secures enforcement of judgments issued against the maritime carrier since the entry into force of the Maritime Commercial Code.
