dc.description.abstractThe work of marine pilots has always been of great importance mainly due to the high-value vessels of which they are in charge. Yet, if the pilot causes damages while being in charge of the navigation of a vessel, there is little use of suing him for indemnity since he will, most likely, have very limited assets providing for sufficient funds for possible high costs resulting from the damages. Consequently, the law traditionally held shipowners vicariously liable for the acts and omissions of the pilots who they are said to employ while the pilot himself and a possible general employer like a harbour authority were absolved from liability.
