Genuine question but what does that really mean?
Does a 100,000 + tonne cargo ship have an MOT every year and who has a dry dock large enough to check the prop shafts?
Thanks Carlos, nothing too bad, just that since himself died I've been managing on about 3 hours sleep a night, but over the last couple of weeks managed to get as far a 6am, but have now gone back to the 3 or less took the chance of a snooze in the reclining chair, which turned out to be about 5 hours.
The operative word is 'could', I don't think insurance covers negligence or lack of maintenance, but mebbe I'll go to the cemetery and ask himself, he worked at the SCA (settlement of claims abroad) at LLoyds, and no, before anyone thinks he was loaded, he wasn't a 'name', just an employee of the Corporation like hundred of others.Carlos J wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2024 8:52 amAsk and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

Heard on the news that the vessel had passed two inspections over the last year o so, so something went wrong.
Cargo ships are required to use pilots in most ports, lots of force in a ship of that size a 1 knot it'll generate 48000000 Newtons.Carlos J wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2024 4:25 pmThis 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.
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.

We live in an age where people will track him down and do bad things to him on the basis of madcap internet theories. It's probably for his own protection.
Tell that to Mitch McConnells sister in law
Tell me who Mitch McConnell's sister-in-law is, and then I'll say that to her.

You'll no doubt demand that I google it, but why should I do all the investigating? You introduced her name, not me. Actually, you didn't even give her a name, now I think about it.
