Cross-border Yacht Sales: Law and Jurisdiction Unveiled

French-flagged yacht sold and delivered in Italy: which law and court apply?

When a yacht registered in France is sold by a foreign professional and delivered in Olbia (Italy) to an Italian private buyer, key legal rules come into play:
• Applicable law: Under EU Regulation Rome I, if the buyer is a consumer and the seller targets Italy (e.g. website, fairs, ads), Italian law applies — even if the seller is based abroad.
• Jurisdiction: Under Brussels I-bis, in absence of a clause, the Court of the place of delivery is competent: Tempio Pausania (Olbia).
• No CISG: The Vienna Convention does not apply to consumer sales.

• Giurisdizione: In mancanza di clausole, è competente il Tribunale del luogo di consegna: Tempio Pausania (Olbia).
• CISG esclusa: La Convenzione di Vienna non si applica alle vendite a consumatori.

“Case of the week”. (North Sardinia-Italy)

🇬🇧 Port Incident: Who Pays for the Damage? ⚓

A Monaco-flagged vessel collides with a dock in an Italian shipyard during mooring. The insurer? French. A case that highlights the complexity of international maritime law.

📌 Who is responsible?
✔️ Jurisdiction: The accident occurred in Italy → Italian courts have jurisdiction.
✔️ Applicable law: Italian maritime law and international conventions govern liability.
✔️ Shipowner and captain: The shipowner is responsible for damages. The captain must ensure safe maneuvers in port.
✔️ Insurance: The French insurer must cover the damages, but there are limits and policy conditions.
✔️ Claims and handling: The shipyard can claim immediate compensation, and port authorities may require a security deposit.

⚖️ The legal framework:
🔹 The Italian Navigation Code regulates shipowner liability and compensation procedures for damage to port infrastructure.
🔹 International conventions such as the 1910 Brussels Collision Convention and the 1976 LLMC Convention on liability limitation establish key principles for such incidents.
🔹 The EU Rome II Regulation determines which law applies to cross-border maritime incidents.

⚖️ Prevention & practical handling:
✅ Immediate notification to local authorities.
✅ Insurer involvement to avoid vessel detention.
✅ Technical survey to quantify damages.
✅ Possible settlement to avoid lengthy litigation.

Questa decisione, in linea con i recenti orientamenti della Cassazione, rafforza il principio di "veritas instrumentorum" (la veridicità degli strumenti), garantendo che le prove presentate siano accurate e affidabili.
