THE WASHINGTON POST WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court agreed Wednesdayto sort out who mustpayfor losses when “extraordinary negligence” that contributed to an accident, the ship and its ownerare responsible. Before the 1989 accident, Exxon’s tanker was unloading Alaskan crudeoil through hoses connected to an undersea pipeline to a Hawaiian refinery.

Thecase goesback to the loss in 1989 of the Exxon Houston, a 72,000-ton, 766-foot tanker,after it hit an undersea coral formation. It did so after breaking loose from a mooring buoy. Exxon Co. USA andits tanker affiliate, Exxon Shipping Co., argued in the newappeal that federal admiralty law should be uniformacross the nation but that ship accidents are governed byconflicting court interpretations of howto allocate blame. They argued that a 1975 Supreme Court ruling madeclear that the vessel and its owner cannot be held solely to blame when theywereonlypartly at fault for an accident.Liability, the court said. is to be apportioned according to actual shares of blame In the Exxon case, however, a federal appeals court ruled in April that if a ship's crew engaged in ing and praying ever since. “Myheart felt like it was going to come out of my chest when I saw her standing there.” said Elsa Ramirez, 33, of Hollywood. “Weall honestly thought she was dead. At least now, whatever happens, we can be thankful she’s alive. There isa corner. She was too stunnedto follow. I couldn't believe what was happening.” she said. “All I wanted was to hug her and tell her I loved her and to please come home. Then she was gone In the hope that she will return, the brothers and sisters of Olga Mary Ramirez are planning a special second Thanksgiving celebration this year at the homeof their parents.

With the hose lines leakingoil and threatening to become fouled in the ship's propeller, Captain Kevin Coyne steered the vessel for nearly three hours. His last maneuver was to make a sharp turn toward shore, causing the Houstonto hit a coral pinnacle. Exxon sued the Hawaiian refinery, and those who had madeandinstalled the mooring buoylinked to the refinery’s pipeline and hoses, Exxon contended that the mooring arrangement was faulty and had broken becauseofits defects, thus setting the Houston adrift in a storm The companies that Exxon sued contended that Exxon deserved all the blame, because the main cause ofthe loss from the grounding wasthe steering and navigational errors of the captain.
