MV Nordlake entitled to limit damages payable for collision with INS Vindhyagiri to ₹20 crore: Bombay High Court
Considering the ramifications of the order on the Central government, which had claimed around ₹1,400 crore in damages, the Court has stayed the order for six weeks so that the Navy may appeal.
The Bombay High Court recently declared that Merchant Vessel Nordlake (MV Nordlake) is entitled to limit its liability in respect of losses and damages resulting from its collision with the Indian Naval Service (INS) vessel, INS Vindhyagiri in January 2011. [MV Nordlake GmBH v. Union of India]
