[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ship owner just filed a limitation of liability action in federal court to cap damages at 43 million. Maritime law allows the ship owner to cap damages at the value of the ship and cargo. [/quote] Yes - and this is settled maritime law. Maryland / the Federal government is not getting a penny more than the value of the ship. Ridiculously, both Maryland senators (both dems) are bloviating about “passing a law !!!” forcing the shipping company to pay. Their proposal is nonsense. It is pure theater. And their proposal runs directly against settled maritime law. You and everyone else should be laughing in their faces over this stupidity.[/quote] Not to mention that laws are typically not retroactive, and this event already occurred. [/quote]
