Changed:Third, uniform recognition of the "full title" in judicial sales could encourage operators to advocate for ship sales in jurisdictions with lax regulations or little oversight, knowing that the ship will be accepted everywhere. Over time, this could encourage "regulation shopping,"shopping", weak standards, and flag-of-convenience dynamics – which could undermine stricter regulations within Member States. It could also undermine labour standards, safety, and environmental compliance if judicial sales and re-registration become too easy and subject to minimal oversight.

Show the text change (1 line)
Changed:The United Nations Convention on the International Effects of Judicial Sales of Ships (the ‘Beijing Convention on the Judicial Sale of Ships’ or ‘Beijingthe Convention’)‘Convention’) was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on December 7, 2022. It establishes a harmonized regime for the international effects of judicial sales of ships. This means that when a ship is sold in a court-ordered sale (judicial sale), under certain conditions conferring "full title" (free from mortgages, liens, and encumbrances), the sale has the same legal effects in all Contracting States.
