sõdiva riigi võimu piires sadamates ja territoriaalmeres olevate erapooletute riikide transpordivahendite hõivamine ning kasutamine sõjalisel otstarbel
right of a belligerent state to seize and use property of neutrals for purposes of warfare, subject to payment of full compensation
Good to know
Generally, the right of angary should be applied only in case of pressing need in time of war, and compensation is due to the neutral owner.
The right of angary was applied on several occasions during World Wars I and II. Thus, by proclamation of March 20, 1918, the president of the United States took over Merchant vessels of Dutch registry lying in U.S. Waters.
