hypothec

a security over moveable property that permits the borrower to retain possession. A hypothec is equivalent to a charge and is employed in international trading transactions. A letter of hypothecation is a letter addressed to a bank giving details of a shipment of goods relating to a draft. Should the draft be dishonoured, the bank is empowered to sell the goods. Maritime liens are a form of hypothec. Seamen have a lien for wages; a salvor for any sum due on salvage; a person repairing a ship or giving supplies in a foreign port for the services; one suffering loss as a result of damage caused by the ship. Claims under bonds of BOTTOMRY and RESPONDENTIA are secured by hypothec.
