ALVIN B. RUBIN, District Judge:

Marine Trading, Ltd. of Nassau and Marine Chartering Co., the vessel owner and charterer, have moved for summary judgment on the basis that the record shows they breached no legal duty owed to the plaintiffs' decedents. Any possible claim must be based on negligence since the vessel no longer owes a warranty of seaworthiness even if the plaintiffs be considered constructive seamen. 33 U.S.C. § 905(b).
