PER CURIAM:

Allied Towing Corp. appeals from an order of the district court denying a petition in admiralty for exoneration or limitation of liability. It also appeals the court's denial of summary judgment with respect to claims involving interpretation of the Longshoremen's and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act. We sustain the district court's rulings but remand the case for modification of the judgment in light of an intervening decision of this court.
