Ships A and B collide in American waters. Ship A is the cargo-carrying ship, ship B the non-carrying
ship. Ship A is held by a US court to be 60% to blame for the collision, and ship B 40% to blame. Shipper A loses
$1000 worth of cargo damaged on ship A, but cannot claim against the owners, who are protected by their bill of
lading terms (incorporating the Hague-Visby Rules). Shipper S is allowed to claim the entire $1000 from the owners
of the non-carrying ship B. But Ship B is only 40% to blame, so her owners can claim $600 back from the owners of ship A. The net effect is that the owners of ship A, while in no way contractually liable to shipper S, must pay 60%
of S’s loss.
