Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Wood Brown, III, New Orleans, La., for plaintiff.

Dillon & Cambre, Gerard M. Dillon, New Orleans, La., for defendants.

Before GEE, TATE and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges.

On Rehearing and Rehearing En Banc January 11, 1982.

TATE, Circuit Judge:

We hold that an oilfield specialty worker, injured while performing his employment duties on a vessel (a movable barge) on inland waters, is a "maritime employee" for purposes of the Longshoremen's and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act, 33 U.S.C. §§ 901 et seq. ("LHWCA"). We therefore affirm the district court's summary judgment based upon its holding to that effect.
