If there were contributory negligence at hand, depending on the jurisdiction, a shop might not be able to impose any damages at all for the tort. Searching online over the last 30 seconds: 1, 2, 3. This concept also isn't limited to common law. Eg lex Aquilia. Imposing strict liability would be unjust to a ship's crew taking all the proper precautions and crashes into the canal bank (damaging infrastructure) or leading to the ship jamming traffic for some time regardless.
Interesting, but still when you think about it, in RL the owners of the Suez Canal are asking for compensation for the obstruction of the canal. The owners of the ship are actually in agreement about providing such compensation. The captain of the Ever Given did not purposely crash the ship into the canal, it was an accident, but still, compensation is being asked of them. Perhaps the "You Break it You Buy it" mantra was not a good example, but I said that when a ship enters the canal, they understand the dangers and risks they are taking to make a shortcut or maneuver through a canal. In this way, the actions of the captain and their crew should be taken accountable even if they took all the precautions possible. Also, these incidents are very rare, because most of the time the people on board the ships are smart and don't take unnecessary risks. With the Ever Given incident, although most would agree that it was an accident, somebody made the mistake to allow an area that ships have gone flawlessly for years to become blocked. If it is found that something or someone on board the ships caused the accident, then they are responsible and need to pay for compensation. If the canal's owners or the canal was at fault, they are the ones to blame. Finally, in the case (I know I am milking this thing) of the Ever Given once again, the majority of the compensation that they will pay is for the efforts of the teams that moved the ship out of its obstruction point. In this example, regardless if it was an accident or not, the only way the ship would ever get out is with the help of others, and that costs money. Due to this, it is completely justified that they pay. I think this fairly explains why we have such a strict liability.

OOC: Fair point. But then, given the existence of GAR#34 and its mandate to the ITSC to set regulations on training of personnel maintaining these canals and the requirement for "relevant infrastructures" to abide ITSC requirements, what's the point of this? It has all been done already and there's an implicit contradiction in the wider exemptions granted here for refusal of access than in GAR#34.

Elsie Mortimer Wellesley. Insofar as member nations are permitted to refuse entry based on war, economic sanctions, etc perhaps there is an internal tension between the two clauses. I would also imagine that member nations seeking to prohibit the passage of enemy vessels would prioritise the second subsection in their interpretation rather than the first.7) PROHIBITS nations from barring WA member state commercial transports in compliance with ITSC regulations from operating in their airspace, territory or territorial waters, or preventing such from docking, landing, or otherwise embarking/disembarking passengers & loading/unloading freight,
a) Nations are permitted to introduce reasonable requirements of prior notification and authorisation, but such are not to be refused on the grounds of the nation of the transport’s origin
b) Nations may refuse entry &c., if there are necessary practical reasons for doing so, such as limited capacity or quarantine, or in times of war or economic sanctions.
I believe also that the ambassador for Bears Armed's remarks on nuclear vessels and those of the ambassador for Bananaistan on sovereign territory are sufficiently vindicated to again bring this point up to the fore. I will note also that payment of canal fees are not "necessary" for the operation of the canal. If I sail up with a large naval squadron and practice sufficiently intimidating gunboat diplomacy in the vein of our ancestors, I will be able to transit the canal without paying the fee, establishing clearly that it is not "necessary" for the canal's operation to pay the fees.
