maritime accidents and pollutions at sea. However, the MPL applies to enforcement of judgments and arbitration awards (Articles 22 and 42 of the MPL). As to the scope of the MPL, it does not spell out its coverage in terms of the type and size of ships. Chinese law does not differentiate between a ship and a vessel. Ships referred to in the MPL should be deemed the same as those defined in the Maritime Code (Article 3), which refers to ‘sea-going ships and other mobile units’, but does not include ships or craft to be used for military or public service purposes. However, military and public service ships can be subjected to arrest where they are engaged in commercial activities. Cases relating to inland ships sailing in areas that are not covered by the jurisdiction of Maritime Courts are still subject to the jurisdiction of local People’s Courts. Apparently, however, the MPL applies to inland ships where it is appropriate. MARITIME CLAIMS
