The court held that the collision and damage to ILLINOIS were solely due to negligent management and seamanship of the OCEAN TRAMP (failure to have engines ready, lack of urgency in reassembly, failure to take proper anchoring measures); DORAR was not negligent and did not cause the OCEAN TRAMP to break adrift on the evidence; ILLINOIS was not at fault; consequently plaintiffs' claim against OCEAN TRAMP succeeded and claims against DORAR and the third party indemnity claim were dismissed.
