This is only one ship. There are many many more in a similar condition with no control over them. If a few were impounded conditions would improve. Without consequences, this will only get worse.
When the Evergrande blocked the Suez canal the ship owner, operator and customers paid a billion dollars for the closure. No loss of life and no damage to the canal.
Yeah but that's because it seriously impacted Egypts primary money maker. They actually cared, the DoJ will put up a farce do some theater but they don't actually care.
There's a RUclips Channel called, What's Going On With Shipping and the guy is a former US Merchant Marine Officer and he did a video on this. The US Coast Guard actually did two inspections and they were passed within several months of the incident. He said that even US Flagged Ships have some of these types of modifications. You would be quite surprised at what goes on.
"it's worth over a million dollars" "I'll give you 400" Now they should raise the pricetag and file suit for full recovery of funds as well as a criminal trial to show proof of willful negligence. Jail time should be served.
Newer bridges have better protection. It wasn’t till the 2000s that this became an issue. More cargo is coming to the United States on ever sketchier ships. The coast guard does inspections but they have so few compared to the number of ships. The coast guard has 140 dedicated inspectors compared to over 15,000 ships of all types that must be inspected. It’s an impossible task. Congress refuses to allocate funds for more inspectors. The problem is only going to get worse.
I have feeling that this is only one slice of the relevant information, and I'm not sure how qualified the DOJ are to make such pronouncements, let's see what the NTSB has to say about all of this.
This is a complex case. Obviously there were deficiencies, in fact probably a combination of deficiencies ranging from some poor system design to some lack of sufficient crew skills and some maintenance problems, If anyone can sort out the list of what and who it is the NTSB. Wait for the final NTSB report.
Pretty sure the NTSB said it wasn't a fuel issue, so the DOJ guy is making stuff up. The NTSB is looking into the wiring for the breakers. The other kludge fixes aren't relevant.
Not to mention maritime law is its own animal and an old one at that so we could be seeing long out of date laws get brought up to limit the losses of the ship owners.
The coast is far too busy boarding boats in other navigable and bikini laden waters like Lake Tahoe and the Colorado River at Parker to worry about a slow boat in a cold bay.

If the ship owner tries to dodge paying for the new bridge and the settlements to the construction workers’ families then let the owner know that any future port calls in the U.S. by any of their ships will result in a full inspection of the ship and 100 randomly selected containers.
