This is an appeal from a judgment entered upon an order by Judge Robert W. Sweet, holding that appellee WABCO Trade Co. ("WABCO") could recover a total amount of $278,160.40 from appellants Great American Insurance Co., St. Paul Fire and Marine Insurance Co., Highlands Insurance Co., and Continental Insurance Co. (the "insurers" or "insurance companies"). Since we believe that Judge Sweet improperly allowed WABCO to enforce by a direct suit against the insurers its prior judgment holding GCC Shipping Co., Ltd. ("GCC") liable to it, we reverse the judgment of the district court, 508 F.Supp. 94.

2 The relevant facts can be stated briefly. As charterer of the vessel INGER SKOU, GCC undertook to carry WABCO's cargo, consisting of four motor graders, from Charleston, South Carolina, to Beirut, Lebanon in October, 1975. Appellants had issued a "Broad Form Legal Liability" insurance policy to GCC which was in effect at the time of shipment. Because of political disturbances in Lebanon, the vessel discharged the graders at Piraeus, Greece. Contrary to WABCO's instructions to hold the graders at Piraeus, GCC shipped and delivered them to Beirut, where they were subsequently seized or lost.
