| Award 1108

Award N° 1108 – (second degree) Collision. A collision occurred in an entrance channel to a port between an incoming ro-rocarrier and an outgoing coaster. Both ships violated the same rules of the International Regulations for Avoiding Collisions at Sea (COLREGS) but the arbitral. Tribunal found that the ro-ro carrier bears a more important share of responsibility (55% against 45% for the coaster) because of her failure to properly carry out the ultimate evasive action to avoid the collision. « Da mihi factum, dabo tibi jus ».
