Calm down and Carry On 是當時最好的辦法 西曼船長十分清楚~包括停電影響舵機! 駕駛室人心惶惶~手忙腳亂 鎮定~以不變應萬變~反而無事 轉舵擺定~下錨阻水都會令船舶改向~問題就出在這裡了!!

船長從全面角度分析此意外,有啟發性。1,於Port of Baltimore ,船舶離泊位後,拖輪即不護航,此是否當地習慣?可能是其一關鍵處?!2,發電機及後備發電機竟同時失靈,顯然維修保養出了問題,索賠方當會質疑該輪於開航時不適航,若船東未能証實該輪適航,賠償金額或大增;3,國際公約按船舶噸位大小,限制每艘船的最大總金額賠償責任( limitation of liability),對貨主而言,按提單(Hague -Visby Rules 或Hague Rules )賠付;4,PNI club 協助船東打官師和賠付後,船東及後的有關保費估計大幅上調了。
Towage contract: UK standard towage condition 1986 (TOWCON) - 1, Hirer of tug is liable to its crews. 2, Tugowner has wide exemption from liability even from negligence and indemnity from tow.
Between cargo interests and carrier, the Hague -Visby Rules ( an international convention) govern Carrier 's liability for loss or damage to cargo.

MV DALI sets sail and underway to Ningbo, China for repair. She is expected to reach Ningbo in early November. The voyage takes more than 40 days as the vessel is empty without cargo on board so the shipowner would not like to pay canal fee for passing Panama Canal.
There are exceptions to the owners ' limitation of liability. For example, vessel owner was aware of a known risk and didn't take appropriate measures to prevent it.

The Convention on limitation of liability for Maritime Claims (the Convention) 1976: The Convention allows a shipowner to limit their liability for certain claims. This is generally achieved by the shipowner either constituting a limitation fund in a State that has ratified the Convention or pleading limitation as a denfense for claim.
Singapore-based Grace Ocean Private Ltd. owns the Dali, the vessel that lost power before it slammed into the bridge early last Tuesday. Synergy Marine Pte Ltd., also based in Singapore, is the ship’s manager. Their joint filing seeks to cap the companies’ liability at roughly $43.6 million. It estimates that the vessel itself is valued at up to $90 million and was owed over $1.1 million in income from freight. The estimate also deducts two major expenses: at least $28 million in repair costs and at least $19.5 million in salvage costs. The companies filed under a pre-Civil War provision of an 1851 maritime law that allows them to seek to limit their liability to the value of the vessel’s remains after a casualty. It’s a mechanism that has been employed as a defense in many of the most notable maritime disasters, said James Mercante, a New York City-based attorney with over 30 years of experience in maritime law.
According to the recent report regarding the collapse, the generators did not kick off, so the key issue might be the electric or control problem and not the generators themselves. There are three types of fuel oils on board . Their fuel samples are sent for testing the impurities. The crews were tested for alcohol and drugs after 14 hours of the event. The pilots were also tested. All results found negative.
Two U S House of Representatives members introduced the Justice for Victims of Foreign Vessel Accidents Act (Bill), which would retroactively increase the liability of the foreign flagged vessel up to 10 times the dollar value of the vessel and its cargo. The Limitation of the Liability Act of 1851 (Act), insulated vessel owners ' losses from events beyond their control to the value of the vessel at the conclusion of the voyage plus any freight, no matter the actual damages caused by the accident.
