南非扣船有三种主要的方式：
(i) 对物诉讼扣船; (ii) 对人诉讼扣押; (iii) 保全扣押
南非没有加入任何有关扣船的国际公约。《1983年海事管辖规则法》规范南非在扣船方面的法律与实践，该法案于1992年7月1日进行过修订。该法案的起草参考了《1953年扣船公约》的某些内容，并将其并入到该法中。诸如，关联船舶的扣船规定，该定义比”姐妹船”范围更广泛。该法案为海事索赔实体诉讼的法律适用提供了确定方法，而法案本身规定了扣船程序。

Ship Arrest in South Africa
There are essentially three ways in which one can arrest or attach a ship in South Africa:
(i) An arrest in rem; (ii) An arrest in personam; (iii) A security arrest;
South Africa has not acceded to any International Convention related to the arrest of ships. The law and practice in respect of the arrest of ships in South Africa is regulated by the Admiralty Jurisdiction Regulation Act of 1983 as amended with effect from 1 July 1992 (“the Act”). In the drafting of the Act, certain aspects of the Arrest Convention 1953 were taken into account and incorporated into the legislation, such as the provision for the arrest of “associated ships”, which is a wider concept than “sister ships”. The Act provides the formula to determine what law applies to the substantive merits of a maritime claim, but the arrest procedures are determined by the provisions of the Act itself.
