OPINION OF THE COURT
ALDISERT, Circuit Judge.
This appeal from a district court’s order confirming the judicial sale of a cargo ship requires us to decide if the costs of unloading the vessel after the sale should be treated as administrative costs. The vessel’s charterer and the consignee of the cargo contend that the court abused its discretion in refusing to treat unloading expenses as administrative expenses. A preliminary question is whether we have jurisdiction to entertain this appeal. We hold that we do have jurisdiction and conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion.
