1Opinion of the Court

PATRICK E. HIGGINBOTHAM, Circuit Judge:

W & T Offshore hired Triton Diving Services to provide a vessel, staff, and equipment for W & T’s offshore pipeline project. W & T also hired a safety contractor, Tiger Safety, to provide safety monitoring and training. Tiger personnel came aboard Triton’s vessel' to furnish these services, and one of them, a technician named Jakarta Grogan, was injured while on board. W & T and Triton now dispute which party must pay for Grogan’s injuries. The court below interpreted the parties’ Master Service Contract to place this burden on W & T alone. We affirm.
