Description
This is an appeal involving the interpretation of an indemnity clause of a contract. Transworld Drilling Company contracted with Levingston Shipbuilding Company for the repair of an off-shore drilling rig. Under the contract Levingston would perform certain repairs and alterations, but Transworld reserved the right to perform certain tasks. One of the tasks Transworld reserved for its regular rig crews was the replacement of a crane. The contractual provision states: "Transworld will utilize its regular rig crews for accomplishing most of the work listed below but will need shipyard support (emphasis added) in some cases; this will be determined on site." Transworld purchased the replacement crane from American Aero, and as part of the sales contract, American Aero, agreed that "a serviceman will be provided for erection and start-up service . . . ." The replacement crane and serviceman, David Cruey, arrived at the Levingston yard and during the installation of a section of the crane, Mr. Cruey was injured.
