Shanghai Maritime Court builds a new model of "Smart Enforcement" to crack "Difficulties in Enforcement"

"Difficulties in Enforcement" has always been a difficult issue followed by all walks of life. To solve the maritime "Difficulties in Enforcement", Shanghai Maritime Court has deepened the integration of information technology and maritime enforcement in the exploration of accelerating the construction of a smart maritime court. It has developed a ship data analysis system to track and position global ships through big data collection and intelligent analysis, in the process of vigorously promoting the judicial auction of ship networks, continuously standardizing and improving the auction process, and has thus improved the efficiency of maritime case enforcement.

Big data collection and intelligent analysis: tracking and positioning global ships

The “owner” privately transferred the Italian ship MV "PRIMROSE" to overseas buyers, and then owed more than 400,000 yuan to the vessel's staff and refused to pay. The nine crew members brought the case to Shanghai Maritime Court but failed to provide the accurate information about the ship, so the ship could not be arrested at first and thereby they could not exercise the maritime liens. Fortunately, Shanghai Maritime Court, through the ship data analysis system, fully docked the global international ship registration information, thus quickly found out the real ship owner involved in the case, and efficiently arrested the ship based on legal procedures. The legitimate rights and interests of the parties were protected timely and effectively.

Online Judicial Auction of Ships: Records are constantly refreshed

In January 2017, the Panamanian ship "MAHONI" was successfully auctioned. This is the first foreign ship that has been successfully auctioned on the Internet platform by a Chinese court.

In January 2017, the ship “MING DE 152” was successfully auctioned for RMB 96 million, which was the historical high of the online judicial auction sale prices of ships at that time.

In August 2017, the ship "HONG XIANG 59" was successfully auctioned, attracting a total of 13,061 onlookers. This is the first ship auction of Shanghai Maritime Court attracting more than 10,000 onlookers.

According to the statistics, since 2014, Shanghai Maritime Court has successfully auctioned 36 vessels through Taobao and other online bidding platforms, with a premium rate of up to 194.70%. The auction turnover totaled RMB 476 million, and the auction turnover rate and average premium rate were both higher than those in the traditional way of auction. Tremendously, the transaction cost of the bidders is saved, and the enforcement efficiency is improved.
