Featured Matter

City of Rotterdam & Primula Seaways

The collision between the pure car carrier City of Rotterdam and the ro-ro freight ferry Primula Seaways occurred on the River Humber on 3 December 2015.

"Certainly, I would be of the opinion that Eric's meticulous attention to detail, thoroughness of his research and the professional manner with which he handled the other experts has been instrumental in the defendants' pleas of guilty."

Albert Weatherill — Managing Director, McAusland & Turner Limited
