Nautically speaking, What is the difference between an “allision” and a “colllison”?

United States Code ^ | March 23, 2024 | Jones Act, USCA

[MeanWestTexan]

The nautical definition of an “allision “ is “the running of one ship upon an object that is stationary., such as a bridge, oil rig, or anchored ship.

The distinction between it and a ‘collision’ is that in the latter, both objects (then, generally ships) are moving.

Under Maritime law, the moving ship is presumed at fault in an allision.

Further, under the Jones Act, persons injured in an allision are automatically due compensation, as are their families,

Given the accident today, I figured Freeper vocabulary needed expansion.

You will need to update your quick correct.

It will want to say “allusion”.

[texanyankee]

That’s a word I’ll remember for my next Scrabble game.

Thanks. I needed to be learned.

We are witnessing trunamdapressure in real time. No joke. Come on man.

[mewzilla]

Thanks! Very useful info!

I never knew of this term before right now.
I waa at first, thinking the term “allusion”, meaning tovhint at something, was being referred to.

Under Maritime law, the moving ship is presumed at fault in an allision...

So, for the Love of God, can we now switch back to Common Law and restore our Republic?

[lee martell]

Typos due to itty bitty type font used on my phone.
I must remember to bump up the font before sending.

[MeanWestTexan]

So you prefer your laws made by judges instead of elected legislators? Curious.

That’s what “common law”’is, btw.

[MeanWestTexan]

That’s OK. I put 3 Ls in the title using my phone.

[C210N]

Maritime Law is contract law, law of the Bankers.

[Lurker]

Thanks.

[Qwapisking]

yeah...autocorrect has always been my worst enema two.

[MeanWestTexan]

LOL, no.

It’s just law that applies from the dock onward.

But enjoy your beliefs. Watch out for low flying helicopters.

[Clutch Martin]

Thanky... as an old coastie the term was in my vocabulary at one point in time but forgotten. As soon as I saw it... BAM!

“So, for the Love of God, can we now switch back to Common Law and restore our Republic?”

I think you might be confusing Admiralty Law with Maritime Law....

I guess that I need to keep scrolling...
