SUMMARY:New Orleans Chapter: Admiralty Law CLE: The M/T ATHOS I – Meeting an Uncharted Object
DESCRIPTION:Join the New Orleans Chapter of the FBA Admiralty Law Committee for this CLE on \n\nDecember 15\, 2020\, from 12:00-1:00 p.m. CST on Zoom. \n\n\n\n\nThe M/T ATHOS I departed Puerto Miranda\, Venezuela\, with a full cargo of Bachaquero crude oil destined for the CITGO refinery at Paulsboro\, New Jersey\, in the Delaware River. CITGO had a permit from the U.S. Corp of Engineers for a ship berth alongside the refinery. When the ATHOS I was in Federal Anchorage No. 9\, which adjoined CITGO’s berth\, it struck an uncharted/unknown/undetected object later discovered to be an anchor used by dredges to weigh down dredging pipes. The anchor ripped open the ship’s single hull and spilled heavy crude into the Delaware River\, resulting in the second largest ship-related oil spill in U.S. waters\, behind the Exxon Valdez. This is the story of that debacle\, which lasted from 2004 to 2020\, winding its way through Venezuela\, Greece\, Houston\, Philadelphia\, two trials with two different judges in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania\, two appeals to the Third Circuit\, a writ denied and a writ granted by the U.S. Supreme Court\, and oral argument in\, and a decision by\, the Supreme Court. \nMuch has been written about the legal aspects and issues surrounding this case\, so presenter\, Derek A. Walker\, Esq. with Chaffe McCall\, L.L.P.\, who was directly involved as counsel of record\, will share the facts\, evolution of the case\, strategies\, frustrations\, experiences\, anecdotes\, and memories – a gumbo of “war stories” and insights. \n\nAbout the Presenters\nDerek A. Walker\, Chaffe McCall\, L.L.P. \nDerek Walker is a Partner in the New Orleans office of Chaffe McCall and heads the firm’s International Practice Section.
