*1368I. SUMMARY OF THE CASE
On March 13, 2016, GEICO Marine Insurance Company issued a liability only marine insurance policy for James Shackleford's vessel, Sea the World . On June 17, 2016, the Vessel suffered damage from inclement weather while moored near Fort Lauderdale. GEICO seeks a declaratory judgment that the policy does not cover the loss because Shackleford breached a navigational warranty in the policy, the implied warranty of seaworthiness, and the maritime duty of uberrimae fidei (utmost good faith).
