OPINION and ORDER

This maritime matter is before the Court following a bench

trial,

and

involves

a

contract

dispute

between

third-party

plaintiff CMA CGM, S.A. ('^CMA") and third-party defendant Marine
Repair

Services

of

Virginia

{''MRS").

Although

a

trial

was

necessary in this case, the majority of the facts are not in
dispute, and the primary legal issue is whether CMA is entitled to

complete

indemnity

from

MRS

pursuant

to

the

"warranty

of

workmanlike performance" that has been recognized in this Circuit
