Description
HOLDEN, District Judge: On January 18, 1971, Netumar's Brazilian flag vessel M/V Amazonia sailed from New York for Brazil. Included in her cargo were two 17-ton Terex tractors. The tractors were loaded by United Terminals, Inc., and secured by New Jersey Export Marine Carpenters, Inc. The tractors were stowed athwartships in the Amazonia's No. 2 'tween deck, with the buckets removed, exposing the trunnion arms of the tractor's lifts to the shell of the vessel below the water line. For 24 hours the passage was uneventful, but late on the 19th the weather began to build and the vessel rolled and pitched continuously through the 20th. At some point the starboardmost tractor broke its lashings and the exposed arms of the device punctured the shell plating on the starboard side just above the 'tween deck level. The last watch of the 20th discovered flooding in the No. 2 hold where the Terexes were stowed. Listing heavily to starboard, the Amazonia made her port of refuge, Bermuda, on January 21.
