Abstract

The author expounds collision liability in the law of tug and tow. He analyses the liability for collisions between tug and tow and between the towing unit and third vessels. The author suggests that in view of certain modifications introduced by the 1976 Limitation of Liability Convention some changes could be made in the limitation of liability for collisions between the towing unit and third vessels.
