Comrade Blyatlov posted:It's also possible that they were trying anything they could think of to restore steerage. In that kind of emergency I would. Supposedly they did drop the port anchor as soon as the first loss of power happened, but the thing about anchors is they're not a dead stop, you have to pay out enough anchor chain to the bottom of the anchorage to arrest the ship, when you're talking about a heavy vessel, as the flukes will not stop a ship by itself, but dragging a shitload of heavy chain will help slow it down. Unfortunately there just wasn't enough distance to pay enough chain to stop the ship, if it would have even been able to since they were moving at nearly 8.9kts when they dropped the anchor. More likely it would have just ripped the chain out of the locker if it hadn't hit the bridge. Stultus Maximus posted:I wonder how much liability the shipping company will bear. The shipping company has already likely begun dissolving and reforming under a new, legally distinct entity lol, because maritime shipping go brrr. Nobody who was responsible for the (likely deferred) maintenance for the vessel is going to face any repercussions. (for the record, it likely was not the crew who was responsible for any maintenance getting deferred, often the crew and inspectors will highlight maintenance concerns and whoever actually owns the ship will put them off because downtime threatens profitablity, crew is probably hosed because the ship is absolutely going to be seized for the duration of the investigation, if it's even seaworthy after they get the bridge off it, and the vessel owner is more liable to abandon the vessel than face legal troubles with recovering the vessel or assets.) orange juche fucked around with this message at 23:52 on Mar 26, 2024 |

lmao MV Dali had already had been cited by inspectors for maintenance issues related to "Propulsion and auxilliary equipment" in past inspections, aaaand nothing came of it of course. The inspection hit was for an issues with "Gauges, thermometers, etc." but who knows which gauges were messed up since it wasn't in the report.

Man you know port procedures post-impact are absolutely going to have triple tugs excorting every cargo vessel through that narrows and into the actual bay from now on. I'm kinda a bit shocked that they indeed just let the ships go once they got into the beginning of the channel, with how narrow the passage between the bridge pylons was. Safety regulations are written in blood.

lightpole posted:In that harbor its protocol to drop the tugs before the bridge. Yeah I know it's protocol to drop the tugs before the bridge, but, that protocol will likely change in the future for traffic flowing through that part of the channel. Sure it's more expensive to have the tugs supporting further out, but if it prevents another bridge collapse in the future, it's likely worth the tugs. The damage done to the national economy due to blocked ships and increased difficulty of getting hazmat to the port is huge next to the price of the tugs escorting a vessel an extra mile or so. orange juche fucked around with this message at 16:49 on Mar 28, 2024 |
