Abstract

Naval property is a very old institution of Maritime Law, inherent of the civil legal systems, consisting in considering each vessel as a special and separate patrimony of the other property that their owner keeps on land and even from the rest of his fleet. This separation results in that the debts arising from trading a vessel can only be effective in the vessel and not in the other property of their owner. This article analyses if this aspect is present in our maritime law and which is its profile.
