Cap. 13 Art. 305Master cannot detain goods on board.

(1) The person letting the vessel or the master cannot detain the goods on board the vessel on the plea of default of payment of the freight, the general average, and other charges.

(2) Nevertheless, the person letting the vessel or the master can deposit the goods with a third party until the sum due to him is paid, and can, if such goods are perishable, demand that they be sold.

(3) Where the general average cannot be immediately adjusted, it shall be lawful to demand that a judicial deposit be made of a sum to be fixed by the court.
