We critically analyse recent common law court judgments in collision cases and highlight the issues which arise from these judgments and which we consider to be of particular importance.
Our latest case commentary is on the judgment of the English Court in the X-PRESS MAHANADA / BURGAN collision.
This collision occurred in a narrow channel and is of particular interest because some of the liability was apportioned to a third vessel, the Shakti Sanchar, whose owners were not involved in these English Court proceedings. In this case commentary we focus on the first of three issues we have with this judgment: whether on the facts as it found them, the English Court was right to apportion some (35%) of the liability to the Shakti Sanchar.
To date we have published commentaries on the following collision cases:
1. WILFORCE/WESTERN MOSCOW
2. FMG SYDNEY/ MSC APOLLO
3. Rule 14- FMG SYDNEY/MSC APOLLO
4, NAVIGATOR ARIES/LEO PERDANA
5. BELPAREIL/KIRAN AUSTRALIA
6. ALNIC MC/ USS JOHN S MCCAIN
7. HUA SHENG HAI/KIRRIXKI
