First ETVA had no security when the loan was concluded since the mortgage on the ships was created much later. In addition, Elefsis agrees that the market value of hulls in construction is low.

HSY gives details on the securities which were granted to ETVA at the time of loan contract (assignment of the price of the two vessels, of the insurance indemnities, and of all claims against third party arising from the charter or generally the exploitation of the ships) and at a later date (the mortgage on the ships), and conclude that they were adequate.

In June 2001, a preferential mortgage on the two ships under construction was created.

The age of a ship is determined on the basis of the date of delivery as fixed by the registrar of maritime and inland waterway ships' mortgages or the competent registration authority.
