GARZA, Circuit Judge:
The question presented is whether section 905(b) of the Longshoremen's and Harbor Worker's Compensation Act (LHWCA) voids an agreement by a stevedore to name a vessel owner as an additional insured on its liability insurance policies. The court below found that such an agreement was void under the statute. Finding that neither the statute nor policy considerations support such a conclusion, we reverse.
