Before HILL, Circuit Judge, HENDERSON, Senior Circuit Judge, and VINING, District Judge.


HILL, Circuit Judge:

The long voyage of the tug CARIBE and barge ATC-21 is now nearly at an end. In this appeal, insurers challenge the judgment against them for the loss of the tug, barge, and cargo. In turn, the plaintiffs cross-appeal challenging the amount of the award. We affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand to the district court for final calculation of the awards.
