Daniel Aquilina is the Partner heading Ganado Advocates’ banking ship finance and aviation teams, assisting leading international banks and financial institutions involved in the financing of Maltese registered vessels and aircraft by perfecting the registration of mortgages and security interests.

“I have considerable experience in the drafting of Maltese law-regulated security and have been involved in complex multi-vessel and aircraft transactions, advising on alternative ship finance mechanisms and structures under Maltese law,” he explains.

Dr  Aquilina has been involved in major Maltese ship finance deals, advising major multinational and providers/arrangers of finance with loan restructuring and mortgage enforcement matters. He also advises on ship sale and purchase, shipbuilding contracts, ship registration and all other aspects of ship purchase, chartering and operation.

“As part of the team engaged to develop Malta’s Aircraft Registration Act, I played an important role in Malta’s decision to accede to the Cape Town Convention and the Aircraft Protocol,” he says, noting that he recently assisted with recommended amendments and general fine-tuning of the existing legislation.

Founded originally in Valletta in the early 1900s, Ganado Advocates is among Malta’s foremost law practices.
