A Texas district court assigned liability for an oil spill to a barge owner while the barge was under tow by an independent contractor. The court disallowed a third-party defense except when vandals or colliding vessels are involved. The decision to make barge owners who use independent contractors liable will encourage the choice of contractors with better safety records. 15 references. (DCK)
