The court held the plaintiffs failed to establish a claim against the defendants for transshipment costs because OOCL had neither incurred nor paid those costs and a binding arrangement at the time allocated liability to MISC; consequently the transshipment claim against the colliding ship was disallowed. The court accepted the loss of hire claim but reduced it by the saving OOCL achieved by not paying slot hire for containers carried on the substitute vessel, awarding US$771,156 for loss of hire and assessing total recoverable claims at US$5,158,561.16.
