Questions

Abandoned ship on rented port area on land

The provision in section 14 on abandoned or abandoned ships and section 16 on the removal of abandoned ships etc. in the Standard Rules for the Maintenance of Order in Danish Commercial Ports is basically aimed at ships abandoned in the water.  

However, the provisions do not define what is meant by "lay-up", "abandoned", "abandoned", "stranded", etc. A port may therefore, depending on the circumstances, be able to apply the standard regulations to a ship abandoned in a port area. 

Whether this is the case will depend on how the ship ended up in a rented port area, such as a shipyard. Is it a customer who has not picked up their ship? Did the shipyard originally consent to the placement? 

If a random third party has simply left a ship in the area of a shipyard, for example, the port would probably be entitled as a port authority (and probably also obliged as a lessor) to have the ship removed from the shipyard. 

It therefore depends somewhat on information about the ship's history when the question is to be assessed specifically.
