Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit October 26, 2001, 00-35280 (Pedro Rodriquez v. Bowhead Transportation Company, an Alaska Corporation)

*1285

GOULD, Circuit Judge:

In this case, we decide whether contract language between a stevedoring company and the time charterer of a ship creates a duty for the time charterer to supervise the stevedore’s loading operation. We hold that this contract language does not impose such a duty upon the charterer, and we affirm the district court’s grant of summary judgment for Bowhead.

I.
