Understanding the zero value
The writer discusses a maritime incident that occurred in 1929 off the coast of Bahrain, where a Hindu steamer collided with a Bahraini diving boat. The collision resulted in the destruction of the Bahraini vessel, the loss of its belongings, and injuries to some crew members. It became clear that responsibility was shared between the two captains, and the owning company paid a low compensation of 3,000 rupees in exchange for the boat captain's signature on a clearance document. This settlement effectively amounted to zero for the lost items, reflecting the exploitation of the captain's economic situation and the impact of debt on his decisions. The article highlights legal and administrative violations and sheds light on the way maritime accidents were handled at that time, revealing the neglect of victims' rights. It also emphasizes issues of justice and the interactions between companies and British governmental institutions in Bahrain.
