On 14 September 2012, the vessel “Asian Grace” underwritten by Britannia P & I Club collided with Weiyuan Jetty located in Humen, Dongguan, Guangdong and owned by Unit 92016 of South China Sea Fleet of Navy of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, which caused the severe damage of the jetty. Unit 92016 of South China Sea Fleet of Navy of the Chinese People's Liberation Army claimed against the ship side for about RMB23,300,000.
Director Colin Y F Yang and Deputy Director Wu Xingkui handled this case on behalf of the ship-owner and her P & I club. Both sides applied to Dongguan MSA for mediation.
By our firm’s earnest efforts, both sides signed the mediation agreement and settled this case with the amount of RMB10,800,000 compensated by the ship-owner. The shipowner of “Asian Grace” and Britannia P & I Club spoke highly of our law firm. Unit 92016 of South China Sea Fleet of Navy of the Chinese People's Liberation Army was also satisfied with this result.
On 2 November 2012, Unit 92016 of South China Sea Fleet of Navy of the Chinese People's Liberation Army presented our law firm the model of the first aircraft carrier “LIAO NING” in China.
