HASHIM ALI RIZVI VS OWNERS OF THE VESSEL m.v. ECO EKRAM S. 4---action in rem and action in personam---Distinction---Plaintiff under action in rem is allowed to commence proceeding by going after piece of property, the ship or the cargo or certain other associated property---It is not a proceeding against any one person or other, nor does it deal with this or that person's title to the thing---It is a legal device employed for satisfying, under conditions of seafaring life and exigencies of international maritime transactions and the claim of a person who has suffered damage or injury---Distinguishing feature of action in rem has always been ability of maritime claim to proceed against ship directly, which is regarded as defendant i.e., ship being personified---action in personam is of the same nature as ordinarily common law action commences by summons served on a defendant which is a person, natural or juridical.
