Extent to Which the Kariba’s COLREG Violations Caused the Collision Sample Clauses

Extent to Which the Kariba’s COLREG Violations Caused the Collision. On the Kariba’s causative impact, the Circuit affirmed this Court’s conclusion that the Xxxxxx’s abrupt abaft-the-beam turn was a but-for cause of the collision because otherwise “the vessels would have continued on roughly parallel westward courses.” Id. at 60. The Kariba’s turn proximately caused the collision because it “caused a risk that the Kariba might collide with other vessels in close proximity—the same risk of harm as makes abaft-the-beam turns illegal under the COLREGS.” Id. at 61. In sum, the Kariba is culpable for having failed to navigation with extreme caution and failed to reduce its speed, in violation of COLREG 19(e), and for making its abaft-the-beam turn, in violation of COLREGS 19(d)(ii). The Kariba’s turn was a cause of the collision and will be considered in the allocation of liability below.
