What Shiparrested.com does

Shiparrested.com (legally SHIPARRESTEDCOM S.L.) is a Málaga, Spain-based membership network founded in 2000 that connects maritime law professionals and maritime industry players for cross-border ship arrest and release services. The platform operates a searchable member directory covering more than 100 jurisdictions and 1,000+ ports worldwide, complemented by a publications portfolio (The Arrest News newsletter, the Ship Arrests in Practice country-by-country guide, and member-authored articles) and a suite of practitioner tools including Ship Valuation, Arrest Conventions, Judicial Sales, Vessel Information, Vessel Trackers, P&I Contacts, Wanted Ships, Maritime Institutions, and Maritime Organisations directories. The underlying technology is a curated B2B online directory and content platform with no disclosed APIs, SDKs, or AI capabilities, distributed globally through direct membership enrollment.

The company monetizes via annual recurring membership fees across two tiers: Legal Members (lawyers, law firms, arbitrators, consultants) and Industry Members (ship owners, managers, traders, P&I Clubs, banks, bunkerers, shipyards, suppliers, charterers, crew). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is community-led, relying on the annual Members' Conference (the 20th edition scheduled for Hong Kong in November 2026), seminars, the member directory as a referral channel, and media and academic partnerships with the Institute of Maritime Law (Southampton), Informa Law, and the Maritime Academy. Exclusive jurisdictional representation, exemplified by Arizon Abogados for Spain, provides local expertise anchoring.

The business operates as a privately held, bootstrapped Spanish SL with 1-10 employees, no external funding, no M&A history, and no subsidiaries. It was recognized as a Top Ranked Shipping Network by Chambers Global 2025 and operates with GDPR-compliant data processing. Revenue and headcount trends are not disclosed in available sources.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Practical Law (Thomson Reuters): Thomson Reuters legal know-how and workflow product with shipping-specific practice notes, precedents, and trackers. Broad incumbent because it covers maritime law within a much broader legal know-how product suite and competes for the same in-house counsel subscription budget.
• BIMCO: The world's largest international shipping association, producing standard contracts, clauses, and industry guidance used by shipowners, charterers, and maritime lawyers. Broad incumbent because it overlaps on maritime legal content and convening but is member-owned and broader than ship-arrest directory services.
• Lloyd's Maritime (Informa): Maritime media, events, and intelligence arm of Informa — a partner of Shiparrested.com for publications. Broad incumbent because it operates a much larger maritime content and events portfolio serving the same shipping and maritime-law audience.

Direct peers

• Lexology: Global legal knowledge-sharing network where maritime law firms publish articles and reach corporate counsel. Direct peer because it competes for the same 'maritime law firm publishing and client-referral' use case that Shiparrested.com's newsletter and member articles target.
• Cedrec Maritime Compliance: UK-based subscription maritime regulatory and compliance intelligence platform serving shipping operators, lawyers, and managers. Direct peer because it sells recurring subscriptions of maritime legal/regulatory content to a similar legal-and-industry customer base.
• Chambers and Partners: Global legal directory and ranking publisher (the same Chambers Global that awarded Shiparrested.com). Direct peer because the same audience consults Chambers rankings to select maritime counsel, creating overlapping value proposition for maritime law directory buyers.
• The Legal 500: Leading legal directory and rankings publisher with dedicated Shipping and Maritime sections worldwide. Direct peer because it competes for the same audience of in-house maritime counsel searching for cross-jurisdiction legal representation.
• Comité Maritime International (CMI): International non-profit association for maritime lawyers that develops and disseminates maritime law (including the Arrest Convention) and connects admiralty practitioners globally. Direct peer because it pursues the same mission of networking maritime lawyers and shaping ship-arrest jurisprudence that Shiparrested.com monetizes at the practitioner level.

Emerging players

• CEDR (Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution): London-based international dispute resolution and arbitration body serving commercial parties including maritime disputes. Emerging player because it competes for the same ADR/maritime dispute workflow but emphasizes arbitration rather than arrest-as-enforcement.

Others

• International Maritime Organization (IMO): United Nations specialized agency setting global maritime regulatory standards that ship arrest practitioners must interpret. Peer-adjacent because IMO regulatory output drives the content demand Shiparrested.com monetizes, though IMO is an intergovernmental body rather than a commercial competitor.
