Abstract

Nigeria and South Africa are the biggest economies in Africa, and they engage in substantial shipping and international trade. Therefore, effective shipping and trade legislation is a requisite for the resolution of disputes that may arise, and ship arrest is an important mechanism to resolve such disputes. This article employs the doctrinal legal methodology to reach a comparative analysis of ship arrest procedures in Nigeria and South Africa, and argues that the South African legal framework regarding ship arrest is more liberal and friendly than that of Nigeria. Given the plethora of trade arrangements involving both countries, this article recommends that Nigeria adopts some of the unique provisions of the South African arrest regime through legislation. It is also suggested that Nigerian courts should interpret the admiralty jurisdiction legal instruments to align with the local needs of the country.

尼日利亚船舶扣押制度:南非的经验教训
尼日利亚和南非是非洲最大的经济体,它们从事大量的航运和国际贸易。因此,有效的航运和贸易立法是解决可能出现的争端的必要条件,而船舶扣押是解决此类争端的重要机制。本文采用理论法学方法对尼日利亚和南非的船舶扣押程序进行比较分析,并认为南非关于船舶扣押的法律框架比尼日利亚更为自由和友好。鉴于涉及两国的贸易安排过多,本文建议尼日利亚通过立法采用南非逮捕制度的一些独特规定。还建议尼日利亚法院应解释海事管辖权法律文书,以符合该国的当地需要。
