Isthmian Lines, Inc., of the S.S. Steel Voyager and United States of America v. Warrior & Gulf Navigation Company
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
Isthmian Lines, Inc., of the S.S. Steel Voyager and United States of America v. Warrior & Gulf Navigation Company, 359 F.2d 68 (5th Cir. 1966)
1966 U.S. App. LEXIS 6520; 1967 A.M.C. 562
Isthmian Lines, Inc., of the S.S. Steel Voyager and United States of America v. Warrior & Gulf Navigation Company
Opinion
The District Court concluded that the negligence of the SS Steel Voyager was the sole proximate cause of the collision and resultant damage which forms the subject matter of this litigation. This resulted in a decision in favor of Warrior & Gulf, libellant, and against appellants, Isthmian Lines, Inc., owner and claimant of the SS Steel Voyager, and the United States, owner of cargo laden on the SS Steel Voyager, as intervenor to recover its general average expenses. We find ourselves in agreement with this conclusion of the District Court. We are persuaded that it has solid foundation in fact. See Warrior & Gulf Navigation Company v. The S. S. Steel Voyager, E.D., La., 1964, 237 F.Supp. 200.
Affirmed.
