Question

The ship Audie Murphy leaves the New York Port with a ship load of GMC pick-up trucks bound for the Port of Istanbul, Turkey. A fire breaks out aboard the ship and destroys more than thirty GMC pick-up trucks. After an investigation it has been unable to determine the cause. Who is financially responsible for the damage

Answer 1

Answer: c. The Owner of the ship - Jack Palace

Explanation:

The investigation was unable to determine the cause of the fire. While this does not clear any party, it does not lay the blame on any party either.

In such a case the financial responsibility will fall on the company operating the transport company which in this case is Jack Palace who is the owner of the ship.
