Task: songer_appel1_1_4

What follows is an opinion from a United States Court of Appeals.
Intervenors who participated as parties at the courts of appeals should be counted as either appellants or respondents when it can be determined whose position they supported. For example, if there were two plaintiffs who lost in district court, appealed, and were joined by four intervenors who also asked the court of appeals to reverse the district court, the number of appellants should be coded as six.
When coding the detailed nature of participants, use your personal knowledge about the participants, if you are completely confident of the accuracy of your knowledge, even if the specific information is not in the opinion. For example, if "IBM" is listed as the appellant it could be classified as "clearly national or international in scope" even if the opinion did not indicate the scope of the business. 

Your task concerns the first listed appellant. The nature of this litigant falls into the category "private business (including criminal enterprises)", specifically "transportation". Your task is to determine what subcategory of business best describes this litigant.

PER CURIAM:
The Supreme Court of the United States in Reed v. The YAKA, 373 U.S. 410, 83 S.Ct. 1349, 10 L.Ed.2d 448 (1963), found in effect that the bareboat charter made the stevedore employer the owner of the boat for the duration of the bareboat charter. It held the stevedore employee could maintain a libel in rem against the vessel for injuries resulting from the unseaworthiness of the vessel, and that the Longshoremen’s and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act, 33 U.S.C. §§ 901-950, did not provide an exclusive remedy.
We find the facts of this case undistinguishable.
The District Court made the following Finding of Fact No. 20:
“That the sum of $4,822.05 was paid to libelant in compensation. That $1,490.10 in reasonable medical costs were paid to furnish necessary care and treatment of libelant’s injuries. That respondent and claimant are entitled to offset the sum of $4,822.05 paid in compensation. That if libelant had incurred said medical costs directly, he would be entitled to an award in that amount. That respondent and claimant are not entitled to an offset of said medical costs.”
We concur, and affirm on this issue.
Affirmed.
