In relation to time-charterers’ liabilities arising out of the explosion on MSC Flaminia in July 2012, the SC overruled the CA’s decision, and decided that a charterer can limit its liability to the owner under the Amended 1976 Convention on Limitation of Liability. It further held that claims consequential to vessel damage may still be limited under any of the sub-paragraphs of Art 2, other than Article 2.1(a).
