(415) 693-5566 

Based upon the pleadings and papers on file herein, and the 

entire record of this action, it appears that proper service was 

duly made upon the Subject Cargo, and notice of the arrest of the 

Subject Cargo was duly given. No answer or other appearance nor 

verified statement of right or interest in the SUBJECT CARGO 

under Supplemental Rule C of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 

was filed in this action.

Therefore, for good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, 

ADJUDGED AND DECREED AS FOLLOWS:

1. The Ex Parte Application for Entry of Default, Default 

Judgment and Order for Sale of the Subject Cargo In Rem is hereby 

granted.

2. Default of the SUBJECT CARGO in rem is hereby entered 

with respect to EXEL’s Verified Complaint In Rem for the Arrest 

of Certain Maritime Cargo Transported in Two Marine Shipping 

Containers Numbered YMLU4890420 and TEXU3615179 and Money 

Judgment Against the Maritime Cargo filed April 19, 2006 in this 

Court (the “Complaint”). 

3. Judgment is hereby entered in favor of EXEL and against 

the defendant SUBJECT CARGO on the Complaint.

4. EXEL is the holder of a valid maritime lien on the 

SUBJECT CARGO for freight and related charges. A carrier’s lien 

may be extended by a “general lien” clause in ocean bills of 

lading to all freights and charges due, whether on the Subject 

Cargo or otherwise. Maersk-Sealand v. Eurocargo Express, LLC,

2004 A.M.C. 1098, 2004 WL 1950372 (C.D. Cal. 2004). Here, the 

Subject Cargo was shipped under two bills of lading, each of 

which contained a valid general lien clause.

8. EXEL also has incurred and will continue to incur 

expenses related to this action, including fees and costs of the

publication expenses related to the arrest and sale. These
