Damages for the loss of its cargo for the loss of the


The S.S. Rustbucket, an oil tanker flying the flag of State V, a small and very poor developing country, had a terrible leak. As the tanker steamed across the high seas near State W, it discharged some 20,000 barrels of crude oil into a very rich fishing area, killing huge quantities of fish and other aquatic animals. A warship from State W detained the Rustbucket until barges could be brought alongside and all of the oil on the tanker pumped off. The Rustbucket has brought suit in a State W court to recover damages for the loss of its cargo, for the loss of the profits it was to earn, and for being improperly detained on the high seas by a State W warship. The Rustbucket has proven to the court that it was in full compliance with the pollution control regulations of State V. Will the Rustbucket be successful?
