Harvey WILLIAMS, Libelant, v. ARROW STEAMSHIP CORPORATION, etc., Respondent and Impleading Petitioner, v. ATLANTIC AND GULF GRAIN STEVEDORING ASSOCIATES, Impleaded Respondent.

United States District Court E. D. Virginia, Norfolk Division.

July 1, 1963.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Jerrold G. Weinberg, Norfolk, Va., for libelant.

Robert M. Hughes, III, Seawell, McCoy, Winston & Dalton, Norfolk, Va., for respondent and impleading petitioner.

William B. Eley, Rixey & Rixey, Norfolk, Va., for impleaded respondent.

WALTER E. HOFFMAN, Chief Judge.

The single issue in this case is whether a vessel is rendered unseaworthy by the presence of grain or grain dust on the vessel's deck, where such grain or grain dust was an inevitable and unavoidable instance of the loading operation. While a charge of negligence was also made in the libel, there is no merit to this contention.
