Liability when both vessels violate COLREGS

Jul 09, 2008 0 Comments by nathan

Ecaptain has some insight into what happens when both vessels involved in a collision violate COLREGS. To go along with this topic…gcaptain posted a video of a collision between the MAERSK HOLYHEAD and M/V PEQUOT. This collision occurred in November of 2005, but has to be one of the most amazing footage of a collision that I have seen thus far. What is particularly scary is that the MAERSK HOLYHEAD was loaded with LNG. Cargolaw has all the historical details on this one.
