When goods are left standing
Shipping lines, hauliers and warehouse keepers hold a lien on goods with outstanding freight, storage or demurrage charges. Exercising it only helps if someone then takes the goods.
That is our part. We buy such lots, even when papers are missing, the contents are only roughly known or the goods have been standing for months.
The legal side — whether and how the lien is exercised — rests with you or your legal counsel. We act as the buyer as soon as realisation is permitted.
Typical cases
- Longstanding containers at ports and inland
- Uncollected consignments with outstanding freight
- Warehouse liens for unpaid storage
- Goods from failed imports
- Consignments with incomplete papers
- Stock whose consignee can no longer be reached

Questions about lien realisation
Do you buy without knowing the exact contents?
Yes, with a corresponding discount. The more that is known about the contents, the better the offer.
Do you check whether the lien is valid?
No. That is a legal question and belongs with you or your legal counsel. We buy as soon as realisation is permitted.
Do you handle customs?
As far as it arises on takeover, yes.
How quickly do you collect?
Shortly after you accept — with demurrage running, every day counts.

Location, standing time and whatever is known about the contents.
