Wijsmuller Salvage B.V. v. ADM Naval Services
Author(ity)
District Court of Amsterdam
Date of the decision, of the judgment
19/11/1987
Points of law
1) The decisive criterion is the status of the ship at the time of attachment.2) A warship delivered by a foreign State to Dutch companies for refitting not only has to spend a long time in dock but must also undergo sea trials, during which it sails under national command and is manned in part by a national crew, should also be regarded as a ship intended for use in the public service even during the execution of the work.
