The owner of the ship that toppled Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge appears to be seeking to cap the amount of damages that the company can be forced to pay following the deadly crash.
The Singapore-based Grace Ocean Private Ltd. indicated it will file a “limitation of liability” action in federal court Monday, invoking a little-known statute used in maritime law.
The filing itself is not yet available, but a docket in U.S. District Court in Maryland showed the company has initiated an action involving limitation of liability, a key move that maritime lawyers saidwould be likely to take place soon after the disaster.
Well I suppose I can accommodate you there. In your post in this thread you said “this exact thing was going to happen”. What you said those days ago was that Maersk wouldn’t be held liable. This article is referring to an attempt by the ship owner Singapore-based Grace Ocean Private Ltd and not Maersk. Its also not letting Singapore-based Grace Ocean Private Ltd off the hook for all of the costs, although that’s what they’d certainly like.
So, no, what you said days ago isn’t exactly what is happening here. Nothing in this article is about liability to whom you said it would be in your other thread, its also not letting anyone off the hook yet.
Thats some nice goalpost moving, but I’m not falling for it. That is irrelevant to what you said prior.
