DORE, J.

Farwest Steel Corporation sought to impose a lien in state court against the barge Seaspan 241, a/k/a Ceres, for steel supplied to Nichols Boat and Barge Builders, Inc., for repair work. The trial court granted the barge owner's motion for summary judgment and dismissed the claim, holding federal maritime law had preempted the Washington boat lien statute, RCW 60.36.010, and the Washington chattel lien statute, RCW 60.08. We agree.
