Titanic law helps ship owner limit bridge collapse liability

Maritime experts predict a complex legal battle following the Baltimore bridge accident involving the Dali container ship. However, legal specialists indicate that the shipowner could potentially reduce their financial liability by utilizing a lesser-known law from the 19th century. This legal precedent, previously employed by the Titanic’s owners to minimize their financial losses following the 1912 disaster, offers a possible avenue for the shipowner to limit the compensation owed for the bridge collision.
