This appeal in the Supreme Court concerned the scope of a shipowner’s obligation to exercise due diligence to make a vessel seaworthy and in particular whether negligent passage planning might render a vessel unseaworthy or whether it was excepted as involving negligent navigation. The seaworthiness obligation is fundamental to all contracts of carriage of goods by sea.
