【Abstract】 The ship arrest law of HKSAR originated from UK,and continues in use after Hong Kong returned to China.The maritime claimer may apply to the court to arrest a ship in order to execute the right of ship in rem,maritime liens and the general maritime claims in actions in rem,or apply for the arrest of a ship in actions in personaml But there are different terms and conditions in these two procedures,and the terms and conditions of HKSAR are different from those of Mainland China.A comparison of the ship arrest system between HKSAR and Mainland China indicates the ship arrest procedure of HKSAR is simpler and more efficient,and creates less legal burden for the applicants,but it is defective in the scope of ships arrestable and the function of judicial guarantee.更多还原
