The U.S. District Court for Southern District of New York ruled that the cause of the December 14, 2002 collision between the container ship KARIBA and the ro-ro car carrier TRICOLOR in the English Channel was the sole and exclusive fault of the KARIBA. In its decision, the court stated: “In short, it was not the Tricolor’s or Clary’s failure to act that was the cause; rather, the sole and exclusive cause of the collision was the Kariba’s turn to starboard.” The TRICOLOR and its owners were ably represented by lead counsel Chester D. Hooper, a partner in the firm of Holland & Knight LLP. In re Otal Investments Ltd , 03 Civ 4304
