§ 24501. When Vessels, etc., are Liable; Their Liabilities Constitute

Liens.

All steamers, vessels, and boats are liable:

1. For services rendered on board at the request of, or on contract

with, their respective owners, masters, agents, or consignees.

2. For supplies furnished in Guam for their use, at the request

of their respective owners, masters, agents, or consignees.

3. For work done or materials furnished in Guam for their

construction, repair, or equipment.

4. For their wharfage and anchorage within Guam.

5. For nonperformance, or malperformance, of any contract for

the transportation of persons or property between places within Guam,

made by their respective owners, masters, agents, or consignees.

6. For injuries committed by them to persons or property, in

Guam.

Demands for these several causes constitute liens upon all steamers,

vessels, and boats, and have priority in their order herein enumerated, and

have preference over all other demands; but such liens only continue in force

for the period of one (1) year from the time the cause of action accrued.
