I for one am unsurprised to learn of the application by the ship’s interests to limit liability based on the ship’s tonnage in this instance. USA is not a signatory to the 1976 LLMC convention - any limitation granted would be based on their own admiralty laws which go back to 1851. One of the main factors determining whether the application to limit liability shall be successful is whether the ship’s interests can establish that the DALI was seaworthy at the time of the commencement of the relevant voyage. (For example : Dirty fuel bunkers, arguably, would mean she was NOT seaworthy.) NB: Seaworthiness is generally understood to mean “fit for the voyage intended”
