Owners and/or Demise Charterers of Mineral Dampier v Owners and/or Demise Charterers of Hanjin Madras: CA 31 Jul 2001

Two ships had collided and one had sunk. Upon approaching each other the ships had agreed a course which would put them in breach of the regulations. One ship even then failed to do what it had agreed to do. The judge’s apportionment of responsibility at 80%/20% was correct.
