Maryland Shipbuilding & Dry-Dock Co. v. Baker-Whitely Towing Co.
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit
Maryland Shipbuilding & Dry-Dock Co. v. Baker-Whitely Towing Co., 395 F.2d 746 (4th Cir. 1968)
Maryland Shipbuilding & Dry-Dock Co. v. Baker-Whitely Towing Co.
Opinion of the Court
In this litigation between a drydock company and a towing company over responsibility for damage to a ship sustained during an undocking movement, the District Court placed sole responsibility on one of the tugs of the towing company and exonerated the drydock. This appeal by the towing company presents factual issues. We accept, as we must, their resolution by the District Court.
Affirmed.
