Reads a bit like the corporate manslaughter charge available in the UK, but not hugely succesful in practice when taken to court.

The court appears to have found the captain "responsible" for overseeing the loading of the ship. It therefore finds he is responsible for the negligent act of incorrectly loading the freight onto the ship, causing loss of balance, and death of employee.
