1Opinion of the Court
KING, Circuit Judge:
The principal question in this appeal is whether a vessel owner owes any duties other than those enumerated in Scindia Steam Navigation Co. v. De Los Santos, 451 U.S. 156, 101 S.Ct. 1614, 68 L.Ed.2d 1 (1981), to its non-stevedore employee conducting operations on a separate vessel. The district court, applying the Scindia standards, found that the vessel owner breached no duty to its employee, and dismissed the employee’s claims. We agree with the district court’s conclusion that Scindia provides the proper framework for analysis in this case, and accordingly affirm.
