CML CMI Database: Peters v MV Harbour Master, 31 October 2023

This was an application by the defendant vessel to set aside the claimants’ admiralty claim in rem for want of jurisdiction. On 10 August 2022, the claimants boarded the defendant MV Harbour Master, attending a party cruise. The claimants allege that at the end of the event, prior to disembarking the Harbour Master, a physical altercation ensued, and crew members of the defendant assaulted and battered the claimants, causing them injury. On 12 August 2022, the claimants filed an admiralty claim in rem against the defendant vessel.

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.
