Our client’s launch was awaiting her next orders at a stand-by berth in Singapore when she suffered hull contamination from the escape of fuel oil from another vessel that had been involved in a collision in the port. We successfully recovered all hull cleaning costs and the related loss of earnings of the launch against the Owners/P&I Club of the third-party vessel.
