Quadcast Shipping Special The Unlucky Voyage – Quadrant Chambers

By

This Quadcast Shipping Special recorded on 24 July 2020 charts an ill-fated journey under a voyage charter from Gqeberha, South Africa – where either the Master, the pilot, or perhaps both, bring Covid-19 on board – to China. The passage plan goes unfinished because the Chief Officer retires from his duties, feeling unwell. After departing from Gqeberha for China, the Chief Officer takes a turn for the worse, spurring the Master to deviate for the nearest port. The Master seeks to persuade the port to allow the Chief Officer’s body to be disembarked, to no avail. The Vessel then proceeds to China.  

Simon Rainey QC, John Russell QC, Nichola Warrender and Andrew Leung explore some of the issues arising out of this scenario, including:

– Was the Vessel unseaworthy?
– Was there a justified deviation?
– Was Gqeberha a safe port?

A detailed copy of the scenario is available from marketing@quadrantchambers.com.

Vimeo is a video sharing platform that was launched in 2004 by a group of filmmakers. Since then, the platform has grown exponentially with most users being creators and artists in film, animation, music and other works of art who use Vimeo as a way to share and promote their work. Because Vimeo is regarded as more of a professional network of artists, the community is much more appreciative of the content that gets shared there, resulting in kinder and more useful discussions compared to YouTube.
