Its kind of that simple, but that means taking on more fuel, and joining an already waiting fleet of ships at another port, that may be even more distant and already packed with scheduled ships awaiting loading or unloading.

Daily Mail but it's probably right. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13239953/Singaporean-Dali-Baltimore-propulsion-bridge-collapse.html quote:Doomed cargo ship Dali was being piloted by a LOCAL crew who were trained to AVOID obstacles in the Baltimore port - as it emerges 100,000-ton vessel 'lost control and propulsion' moments before smashing into the bridge.

This could have been so much worse had it been crewed by a FOREIGN crew trained to HIT obstacles.

6 missing, two living people recovered , one seems to be in rough shape at Johns Hopkins Shock Trauma, the other refused treatment. Crew was repairing potholes. There was some warning and attempt to get people off and prevent them from going on to the bridge but things happened very fast. All from governors press conference. Imagine being on a bridge that fell down and being like nah I’m good with the hospital ima head home.

Do you know how much that ambulance ride costs? He can't afford that. And he won't even make his hours this week, so he really cannot afford that medical bill. Mozi posted:not sure why anyone is saying this given we know the ship was having issues with losing power Power loss and then just starts pumping snoke like it was a coal powered freighter in 1910. A whole lot of poo poo went seriously wrong and it's pretty early to start going, "Aha! That's the blame!" It's likely there's a lot of blame to go around.

Johns Hopkins Shock Trauma sounds expensive, and presumably there's a sudden drop in the amount of work available for bridge span maintenance guys, so it's probably a good idea to sleep on it and see how they feel tomorrow.

I was wondering "why weren't there any structures to prevent a ship from even hitting a bridge support column?" I went looking around and shockingly few bridges in/around major ports have barriers around their support columns. Looks like the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge into NYC has it's support columns in shallow water (it's also a suspension bridge). The Golden Gate has a barrier, but even if there are barriers I guess there's little anyone can do to stop a container ship that large from hitting a support column.

There were some basic walls around the pylons but I mean is it even possible to build anything strong enough to stop something that big?

Also with cargo ships, look how much the bow of the ship can extend in front of where the ship meets the water.  Even just building a barrier to take that into account would be difficult.

This is what my city did a few decades ago after an adrift ship had a near miss   Container ships in/out need tied tugs as well

smoobles posted:holy gently caress, the ship was tracking to drift under the bridge until they slammed on the brakes? They probably had no way of knowing that given loss of power and time to get the backup generators up to bring up instruments at the minimum if they were not already on. Its likely going to be something that was largely outside the captains control given the double power loss. With no power means no hydraulic, meaning no rudder or electricity for thrusters, and it looks like once power came back they restarted the engine and tried to reverse which will cause the boat to shift anyways. Sucky situation.
