International Trade and Transport

Curacao has always played a significant part in international trade. The island’s favourable geographic location and reliable services in the port attract a large number of vessels to Curacao annually. The activities in our ports range from container transhipment, ship repairs, bunkering, cruise tourism and marine (underwater) surveys, to ship registration, ship financing, and other activities related to this sector.

VanEps Kunneman VanDoorne’s Maritime lawyers are recognized leaders in the field. Not only in shipping, but also in the field of air transport and other aviation matters the clients of the maritime sector of VanEps Kunneman VanDoorne can count on its vast experience. Our specialists assist clients in all legal aspects of international trade and transport, such as chartering, cargo damage claims, collisions, general average and related litigation, arrests on vessels or aircraft, auctions, ship financing, ship repair contracts, ship and aircraft registration and international debt collection.

In recent years Aruba has developed into an attractive jurisdiction for aircraft registration. VanEps Kunneman VanDoorne has assisted several international clients with the registration of their aircraft in Aruba. Recently also the Netherlands Antilles has been rediscovered as a jurisdiction for aircraft registration.
