 Scindia Steam navigation v. De Los Santos (1981)
The stevedore's duties under positive law to provide a safe workplace and to use safeguards with respect to the ship's gear, as well as the vessel's justifiable expectations that those duties will be performed, are relevant in determining whether the shipowner has breached its duty.
Oregon Stevedoring Co., 376 U.S. 315 (1964), for example, the vessel was found liable for injuries to a longshoreman caused by an unseaworthy condition arising when the stevedore, without negligence, supplied defective equipment used in handling the cargo.
The defective rope which created the condition of unseaworthiness on the vessel and rendered the shipowner liable to the stevedore's employee was supplied by Oregon, and the stevedoring operations in the course of which the longshoreman was injured were in the hands of the employees of Oregon.

And even if the Guayaquil stevedore's improper use of plastic had been apparent to the crew, the court continued, "then it readily transpires that this was an open and obvious condition" for which Howlett could not recover.
It is also worth noting that an injured longshoreman's acceptance of statutory compensation operates as an assignment to the stevedore employer of the longshoreman's right to bring suit against the vessel, so long as the longshoreman does not sue within six months of accepting compensation.
But it is the stevedore, an independent contractor hired for its expertise in the stowage and handling of cargo, that is charged with actual implementation of the plan.

 STEVEDORE
AMG REVIEW: Armed with a title pun so delicious it's a wonder it took him so long to come up with it, 1983's Stevedore opens with a tougher-sounding new version of Phonography's "I Want You in My Life" that's nearly the equal of the more bubblegummy original.
The one potentially overindulgent moment is the ten-minute stream-of-consciousness rant "I'm My Own Ghost," but even that's saved by the cut-up music collage underneath the vocals.
Though Stevedore doesn't add any stone classics to the R. Stevie Moore canon, it's a thoroughly enjoyable listen.
