CML CMI Database: In re M/V MSC Flaminia, 30 June 2023
Deltech Corp (Deltech), Stolt-Nielsen USA Inc, and Stolt Tank Containers BV (together, Stolt) challenged the District Court’s determination that they were wholly responsible for the damage caused by the explosion of a chemical cargo of DVB-80 and the ensuing fire in June 2012 on the M/V MSC Flaminia. The Court found Deltech liable for 55% of the damage, and Stolt for 45%. The Court exonerated the other parties to the shipping transaction: see In re M/V MSC Flaminia 339 F Supp 3d 185, 229-30 (SD NY 2018) (CMI220).

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.
