General Maritime Law dictates that owners and/or operators of motor vessels owe seamen an absolute and non-delegable duty to provide a “seaworthy” vessel that is reasonably suitable for its intended purpose. Generally, this means that a vessel owner/operator has a duty to provide a safe vessel to prevent offshore injury to maritime workers. If the vessel owner fails in this duty, then the maritime worker has the right to bring an unseaworthiness claim against them to recover compensation for the damages they suffered.
