No way would they have broken Maryland Martitime Laws by not having a local pilot on board......

Re: Baltimore bridge collapse

If the ship lost power, pilot or not, in a situation like that, it's not surprising it hit the bridge.

Re: Baltimore bridge collapse
Listening to various reports and reading between the lines it looks as though there may have been an bit of cost cutting.
My brother-in-law spent his working life, from the age of 17, on merchant vessels, anything from tankers, bulk carriers reefers and containers, he was what is jokingly called a 'chOffer' and he said that it was unusual for a ship of that size and in that location not to have a couple of tugs helping to guide the vessel out of port, and in a case of a power outage and loss of control the tugs would have been able to guide the vessel out of any danger. But, of course, tugs and river pilots don't come cheap, and it could be that the company was seeking to keep outgoings at a minimum.

Re: Baltimore bridge collapse
This article, with views from a ship's captain, says there were two pilots on board, plus there are state and federal laws about it: https://theconversation.com/ive-captain ... ons-226700birdie wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2024 4:05 pm Listening to various reports and reading between the lines it looks as though there may have been an bit of cost cutting.

Happy to be corrected, I confess I haven't watched any news today due to personal circumstances, but will try to catch up later.

Re: Baltimore bridge collapse
Whether or not the ship was in a seaworthy condition, could be a big factor here.
