扣船是行使海事管辖权的重要手段,海事法院因扣船而取得实体管辖权。实践证明,海事法院片面争取管辖权并不一定能很好维护国家主权,相反在一定程度上可能损害国家尊严。出于现实主义考虑,将不方便管辖原则引入扣船制度可以很好抑制目前海事诉讼中存在的国家本位主义思想,符合“诉讼经济”的原则。 Arrests are an important means of exercising maritime jurisdiction, and maritime courts have substantive jurisdiction over arrests. Practice has proved that one-sided maritime court fight for jurisdiction does not necessarily well safeguard national sovereignty, but to some extent may undermine national dignity. For the consideration of realism, introducing the principle of inconvenient jurisdiction into the arrest system can well restrain the existing nationalist ideology in maritime litigation and conform to the principle of litigation economy.
