在韩国可基于某些原因扣押船舶，例如：（i）在可执行的判决期间基于诉前扣押进行扣船以获得对船舶所有人索赔的担保，或（ii）基于船舶海事优先权和/或抵押权，以进行船舶拍卖。我们注意到，在韩国并未承认对物诉讼/诉讼程序。
如果是前者（诉前扣押），当且仅当索赔是针对船舶所有人时，对寻求扣押船舶的索赔没有限制。在这方面，韩国法院可以揭穿船舶登记所有人的公司面纱，并且可基于针对该船舶受益所有人的索赔扣押该船舶。

Ship Arrest in South Korea
There are several bases to arrest a ship in Korea, e.g., (i) to arrest a ship based on a prejudgment attachment which is to obtain security for the claims against the owner of the ship pending enforceable judgments, or (ii) based on maritime lien and/or mortgage on the vessel which will proceed with the auction sale of the vessel. We note that in rem action/proceedings are not recognized in Korea.
In case of the former (prejudgment attachment), there is no restriction of the claims seeking for the arrest of a ship if and only if the claim is owed by the owner of the ship. In this respect, the Korean court may pierce the corporate veil of the registered owner of the ship and allow the arrest of the ship if the claim is owed by a beneficial owner of the ship.

《IMSBC规则》修正案将于2019年1月1日生效。本文中，Brookes Bell LLP的Penelope Cooke解释了即将生效的修正案会对载运煤类货物的船舶产生何等影响。有关《IMSBC规则》修正案的全部详情，请参阅国际海事组织MSC.426(98)号决议。
《国际海运固体散货(IMSBC)规则》中，将煤描述为一种由非晶形碳和碳氢化合物组成的天然固体可燃物质。尽管煤以易燃性和自热性闻名，然而某些煤类货物也有易于液化的特点。所有煤类货物都具有B组化学特性，例如可能发生自热或排放甲烷；除此之外，即将生效的《IMSBC规则》修正案中提到了煤类货物被认定为A组（即易于液化）的标准。因此，煤类货物有可能需要取得与其他A组货物（例如精矿、镍矿石和铁矿粉）相同的TML证书和含水量证书。
