MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company SA v Stolt Tank Containers BV & Ors (Re "MSC Flaminia" (No. 2)) [2023] EWCA Civ 1007 – 1 September 2023 (Males LJ, Falk LJ, Henderson LJ)

In relation to the time-charterers’ liabilities arising out of the explosion on MSC Flaminia in July 2012, the CA held that a charterer who falls within the extended definition of "shipowner" in Article 1.2 of the Amended 1976 Convention on Limitation of Liability cannot limit its liability to the actual owner in respect of losses suffered by the owner itself.
