In CMA CGM S.A. v Classica Shipping Co Ltd (The ‘CMA Djakarta’) the English Court of Appeal considered the question of whether the charterer of a vessel was entitled to limit its liability pursuant to the Merchant Shipping Act 1995 and the Convention on Limitation of Liability for Maritime Claims 1976, as against claims from the shipowner relating to damage to the ship and to indemnification against cargo claims and general average settlements.
