Who's at fault

[adey]

Rammed by a tug in the last six years? Get the compensation you deserve. No win, no fee!
I wonder how many of those injured suffered 'mental trauma'?

OK, I sent the vid off to a mate who is a high flying maritime lawyer advocate whatyoumaycallit. If he deigns to opine I shall post it. Unless of course I have to eat humble pie in which case I will relegate it to pure hearsay and be damned.

4am and he wakes me up with an answer.....
Merry Christmas! Yikes, disastrous situation but... Rule 16 crossing seems to put the tug at fault, though i don't see a lot of evasive action from the ferry either. Totally agree about safety: no Rule 6 speed, and wasn't there anyone on either bridge (Rule 5)?! LoL, good entertainment value!

It's hearsay......he's no expert witness.
Should have clearly said both
