May not be the captain, as there were reportedly two harbour pilots on board. They are locals who are familiar with the waters around their harbour and would pilot large vessels into open waters.

However, if claims of mechanical failure are true, the focus will fall onto the maintenance of the ship……

I thought insurance will cover up to an amount and most ships are owned by single purpose shell company precisely to manage such catastrophic events, things like oil spills, dropping anchor and damaging a pipeline, etc.  All pant dropping events.

Protection and Indemnity (P&I) is a type of insurance that shipowners purchase to cover the potentially huge costs of any harm they accidentally cause to people, property and the environment. 

As liabilities for injuries, cargo loss, collisions and pollution can far exceed the value of a ship, shipowners have found since the 19th century that the most cost-effective way of buying P&I cover is through not-for-profit clubs of like-minded shipowners. 

Pooling claims

Through these P&I clubs, shipowners pool their insurance premiums to pay claims on a mutual basis. The early clubs soon realised they could operate a similar pooling arrangement between them, reducing costs further. The Standard Club, formed in 1884, joined the first pooling agreement with five other British clubs in 1899. As the clubs grew in size, number and nationality, this eventually became the International Group of P&I Clubs.

Today the 12 members of the International Group provide P&I cover to around 90% of the world’s ocean-going tonnage. The Group’s Pooling Agreement provides a mechanism for sharing all claims of $10m up to around $8bn, much of which is supported by reinsurance.

Insurance will come under Hull & Machinery Insurance which insures/protects a shipowner’s vessel as its main asset.

P&I will cover third party liabilities excluding the shipowner's asset, i.e. the vessel.

Port anchor was dragging...shows efforts underway to correct kayu situation.

Bad series of choices. Its not only this vessel niah. Who know comm shipping raise hand.

Tip top maintenance can only be done with deep pockets such as RSN or SPcoastguard. Even then can still Courageously fail.

Thing is must check got any mazeltov influence for a L'chaim.

The crew jin cham liao. Hit ERP gantry somemore. Guess your prayers were answered. Thank you very much.

Trump is not gonna be gentle.

You obviously dont know sailors. They tie knots. Neatly. Ask tch. What he can do to save money on his vessel.

Sure got neber tip top one lah. Cheaper sailor, cheaper engine oil, cheaper cheaper quality. Why need for NOL.

At least Maersk running the lease, not so bad, the danes can jiak. Lose the vikings as friends...maybe not.

 

Yah, went through marina barrage on family bumboat before it was closed. Sampan place.

yeah.....that also begs the question....how assured are we that there is no repeat of the Baltimore Bridge incident with the hundred of thousands of mega ships crossing the globe through narrow manmade structures eg. the Suez channel?

They don’t have the capital to underwrite these policy.

It could be US$100m per layer for XOL policy.

from what I read about insurance and indemnity structure....the premium for all shippers effectively just went up multifold in the next renewal....

insurance will never lose money with underwriting.

as country that import almost everything and a major shipping port, we are not likely to siam the fallout.

Backup batteries sold in 'black market' [sly]

If our Northern neighbour can sell fighter plane engines, nothing amused me nowadays.

Being a container vessel, she has got 5 x 850KV auxiliary engines (generators). It's really strange that there will be a total blackout as she still has not commenced her sea passage and she should still have 2 generators running when she is still within the port vicinity.

$4b will be split globally.

As I said earlier, it will be another round of global inflation.
