NESBITT, Judge.
While employed by Lavino Shipping Company (Lavino), Jackson was seriously injured when he was struck by a tractor being operated by a fellow servant. The tractor was owned by the defendant, Marine Terminals, Inc. (MTI).
After Jackson received benefits pursuant to the Longshoremen’s and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act, 33 U.S.C. §§ 901— 950 (1979) (LHWCA), he commenced this action against MTI for its common law liability by reason of ownership of the vehicle, a dangerous instrumentality. MTI’s motion for final summary judgment was granted and Jackson brought this appeal.
