DeMOSS, Circuit Judge:
On March 25, 1999, the C/B MISS BERNICE collided with the O.S.V. CANE RIVER in the fog in the Mississippi River below Venice, Louisiana. This collision led to three lawsuits: 1) a suit brought in admiralty by Trico Marine Assets, Inc. and Trico Marine Operators, Inc. (collectively “Trico”) against Diamond B Marine Services, Inc. (“Diamond B”); 2) an exoneration/limitation action instituted by Trico; and, 3) an exoneration/limitation action instituted by Diamond B. These three cases were consolidated before the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana.
