Golden Fleece Maritime Inc and Another v St Shipping and Transport Inc: CA 23 May 2008

The ships let under charter failed to comply with the Marine Pollution Convention which made it not possible for the charterer to fulfill its contract. The owners appealed against a finding that they were liable to the charterers.
Held: The appeal failed. Though the wording used was strange, on any reading the ship was not compliant.
