Mondays With Maitland - Lessons Learned from the MOL Comfort Sinking and Lawsuit

The Worlds First Maritime TV Channel (EST.1999)

Lessons Learned from the MOL Comfort Sinking and Lawsuit

In this 36th interview in the series, Clay discusses the issues surrounding the June 2013 MOL Comfort sinking after it was announced last month that claims against Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) for the loss of the ship are now amounting to over $500m, with more than 100 claimants joining the Tokyo court legal action headed by Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL). Clay points to certain classification societies and shipyards in assessing responsibility for disasters like these, but stresses the complexity involved in addressing the problem.
