All Alaskan Seafoods, Inc. v. M/V Sea Producer
Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
DAVID R. THOMPSON, Circuit Judge:
All Alaskan Seafoods Inc. (“All Alaskan”), a shipper and the plaintiff in this admiralty case, appeals the district court’s partial summary judgment. The district court held that All Alaskan’s maritime lien on a vessel was subordinate to a mortgagee’s ship’s mortgage. The district court determined that under the Ship Mortgage Act, All Alaskan’s claim for cargo damage could only arise under contract law, not under tort law; therefore the claim was not entitled to priority as a maritime lien under 46 U.S.C. § 953(a)(2). We reverse and remand.
