How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• recognizing that slight damage to a fender sys- tem during “normal docking” may fall outside the purview of the presumption
• arguing for the inappli- cability of the Oregon presumption where the vessel was properly piloted, the contact made with the fender system occurred during a “normal docking” and was minimal, and the fenders were defective
• “the presumption derives from the common-sense observation that moving vessels do not usually collide with stationary objects unless the vessel is manhandled in some way”
