Abstract Ship suppliers’ claims have traditionally not enjoyed maritime lien status in Common Law jurisdictions outside the United States. Instead, ship suppliers have been treated as unsecured creditors with a mere right of action in rem against the relevant vessel. However, Canada has recently introduced a statutory maritime lien for certain ship suppliers’ claims. This article provides a comparative analysis of the historical development of ship suppliers’ claims in maritime law, evaluates the Canadian reform, and discusses its potential implications for the Asia-Pacific region.

船舶供应商的留置权：从加拿大法规中摘下（枫叶）？

摘要 在美国以外的普通法司法管辖区，船舶供应商的索赔传统上不享有船舶优先权地位。相反，船舶供应商被视为无担保债权人，仅拥有对相关船舶的对物诉讼权。然而，加拿大最近为某些船舶供应商的索赔引入了法定海上优先权。本文对船舶供应商在海事法中的索赔历史发展进行了比较分析，评估了加拿大的改革，并讨论了其对亚太地区的潜在影响。
