The phrase ‘strengthen its protection of domestic IPR’ must be read as an independent function and not rendered irrelevant by latter portions of the plan. Permuting this CP unfairly and arbitrarily divorces meaning from plan wording.

Any other interpretation of indemnity provision would require the words "the vessel, its owners, operators" to be ignored. Doing so would violate a cardinal rule of contract interpretation, which requires that all terms used in the contract should be given meaning and, consistently, that no terms used in the contract should be rendered superfluous. The only way to read the indemnity provision without ignoring the words "the vessel, its owners, operators, master, and crew," is to find that Arena owes indemnity to Alliance because it was both the owner and operator of the vessel at the time of the plaintiff's alleged injury.
