Three years after a Bariba-controlled bulker broke free of its moorings and careened into two other vessels in a casualty that damaged a Mississippi River terminal, most of the legal disputes have been settled.
Lawyers say they have reached agreements on "16 and a half" of 17 claims.
But one question, whether a dockworker was partly to blame for additional damage at a terminal after the initial incident, has dogged the litigation over the casualty involving Bariba's 81,400-dwt Privocean (built 2013).
