Allision damages arise from incidents where a moving vessel strikes a stationary object, such as a dock, wharf, or buoy. These incidents can occur in diverse settings, including open water, inland waterways, or ports. The damages from allisions encompass a wide array of losses and can be categorized into direct and indirect damages.

Dock allisions, distinct from collisions or groundings, involve a moving vessel making unintended contact with a stationary structure. This legal treatise aims to clarify the definitions and implications of dock allisions within maritime law, illuminating the relevant legal frameworks, liability considerations, and the various factors contributing to such incidents.

Lighthouse allisions are rare but significant maritime incidents where vessels collide with lighthouse structures, often resulting in extensive damage to both the vessel and the lighthouse itself. These events require careful investigation and raise questions about liability and safety. We explore the key aspects of lighthouse allisions.

Wharf allisions, a specific type of maritime accident, occur when a vessel collides with a wharf structure, potentially leading to extensive property damage, disruptions in trade, and intricate legal challenges. Wharf allisions can also result in personal injury or death, making them a serious concern for maritime safety.
