Description
This appeal raises several questions concerning the operation of maritime tort law and the proper assessment of damages. Specifically, we must decide: (1) the availability of a negligence remedy where only economic damages are suffered; (2) whether crew members can recover lost wages from a third party because their ship has been disabled; (3) what constitutes a negligent failure to warn; (4) the proper measure of lost profits from a fishing expedition; and (5) whether pre-judgment interest was properly awarded in this case. Several of these questions are of first impression in this circuit, and those courts in other jurisdictions that have considered them have arrived at contradictory conclusions. In light of the uncertainty in the law surrounding these issues, we emphasize that our holding is confined to the facts presented by this case.
