Tramp Oil and Marine, Ltd. v. M/v "Mermaid I", Her Engines, Etc.
Court of Appeals for the First Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
COFFIN, Circuit Judge.
Appellant Tramp Oil and Marine, Ltd. (Tramp), a broker of bunker fuel, was literally stuck in the middle of the transaction when the appellee-vessel M/V Mermaid I (Mermaid) was supplied with fuel while in the port of Savannah, Georgia. Although everyone else involved in the five-party deal received payment, Tramp was left with an unpaid balance in excess of $46,-000. The question before us is whether Tramp is entitled to a maritime lien against the vessel to secure payment of that debt. We conclude that it is not, and therefore affirm the judgment of the district court.
