Abstract

The author examines the implications of the berthing contract and marina operator’s liability
arising therefrom, in particular its liability for damage to and loss of pleasurecraft berthed
in the marina. The paper discusses the legal nature and the contents of the berthing contract,
the scope and limits of marina operator’s liability, as well as of the marina operator’s insurer.
In particular, the right of direct action of the user of berth against the marina operator’s liability
insurer is analysed. The author refers to the relevant domestic court practice and presents
certain solutions in comparative Italian legal doctrine and practice.
