I'd say fuck that. You were shipping my container, I'm not telling you how to do your job and I am most certainly not paying for your damages.
This is 100% on the captain and the shipping company.
I really doubt you dealt with container shipping. Loads of things are utterly weird at first thanks to maritime law. For loads of things it's basically: "hope you got/arranged insurance!"
Not sure why you’re placing blame on the captain for an engine failure. Not much you can do in a boat without power. I definitely would put blame on the repairs and potentially the shipping company for not doing pm’s.
Last I read there was still a lot of investigation to be done to see what lead to the failure.
I think this incident really should be a wake up call to how fragile our infrastructure is and how it needs more funding and more protection
Maritime law is weird, with all sorts of shared risk and salvage stuff. Could be that it doesn't matter. I literally have no idea.
Seems like the declaration would not be unexpected, though.
Having had to deal with this, my understanding is that only the cargo loss is split among those shipping - as in, if a container goes over. I feel like this is just a trumpian attempt to overstate the law to cheat.
Yeah that is pretty typical, as weird as it is!
