The foreclosure process for a maritime lien varies greatly from home foreclosures. If a creditor files a maritime lien claim in federal court, a federal judge can order a federal marshal to seize the vessel without a hearing or issuing a judgment. The creditor has tremendous power and rights in stopping a vessel owner from sailing away to avoid the lien.
