CML CMI Database: De Beers Marine (Pty) Ltd v Harry Dilley (Pty) Ltd, 18 July 2023
The appellant, De Beers Marine (Pty) Ltd (DBM), was the owner of an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), a robotic submarine which was used to map the seabed in its mining operations off the coast of Namibia. In September 2017, DBM concluded an agreement with the respondent, Harry Dilley (Pty) Ltd (HD), for the charter of a work boat to assist DBM in conducting sea trials in False Bay, Western Cape, to commission new equipment installed on the AUV. The work boat, the MV Nkwaza, was owned and skippered by Mr Harry Dilley, the sole director of HD.

The CML CMI database of Judicial Decisions on International Conventions aims to make these decisions more accessible to the worldwide maritime community, in the hope that this will foster comparative research and uniformity of interpretation of international maritime law. This project, which is undertaken and hosted by the Centre for Maritime Law of the National University of Singapore in collaboration with the Comité Maritime International, builds on the foundation laid by Francesco Berlingieri in his earlier CMI database of jurisprudence on maritime conventions.
