11  Jurisdiction of other courts in respect of Admiralty actions in rem
 (1) The Governor‑General may by Proclamation declare a court of a State or of a Territory to be a court to which this section applies.
 (2) Subject to any condition or limitation (whether as to locality, subject‑matter or otherwise) specified in the Proclamation, a court of a State to which this section applies is invested with federal jurisdiction, and jurisdiction is conferred on a court of a Territory to which this section applies, in respect of proceedings that may, under this Act, be commenced as actions in rem.
 (3) Where a Proclamation has been varied or rescinded, the variation or rescission does not deprive a court of jurisdiction to hear and determine a proceeding that was pending in the court at the time of the variation or rescission.
