dc.description.abstractMany goods in admiralty actions have lost in time past, this is as a result in failure to take the right steps by the parties involved, for instance, failure to arrest a ship or cargo or freight (as a pre-trial and pre-judgement security for a successful action in enforcement of maritime claims because of ignorance on the part or the failure of counsel to realize the essence, implications and the roles of an action in 'Rem' in maritime claims and the difference between an action in 'Rem' and an action in Personam' or generally, enforcing the claims of litigants in admiralty matters, thus in Anchor Ltd. V. The Owners of the Ship Eleni, (1907-1979) INSC 42.
