An injured longshoreman is chasing Costamare in a $5m lawsuit.
Warren Rivers, an Alabama resident allegedly hurt while working onboard the 7,400-teu Maersk Kawasaki (built 1997), filed the lawsuit this week in federal court in Houston, Texas.
He alleges Costamare maintained an unseaworthy ship, leading to his injury from a “defective cargo container” during loading at the Port of Mobile, Alabama.
