NATURE OF THE CASE: This is an appeal from summary judgment denying damages in tort from
a defective product in an admiralty case.
FACTS: Seatrain Shipbuilding Corp. built four oil-transporting supertankers. The turbine
engines for each tanker were manufactured under subcontract by Transamerica Delaval (D). The
East River Steamship Corp. (P) chartered one of these supertankers. The supertanker
developed serious problems in its turbine engines. These problems required major repairs.
Soon after, similar problems arose with the other turbine engines manufactured by D. P sued
D in tort under products liability, requesting the cost of repairing the engines, and the
lost profits due to the damages. D received summary judgment. The court of appeals affirmed.
