    Fascinating side of this story I hadn’t even thought of until reading this.

    I can’t believe the FBI confiscated these poor bastards call phones, haven’t already copied all the requisite logs and data to return them, and didn’t immediately set them up with temporary ones, or allow them to retrieve their contact information, or let them onto shore, or even another boat, or anything.

    These poor fuckers have been trapped on that ship for months now, and made to stay onboard while the Coast Guard literally blows off explosives and tons of steel from it’s bow.

    This is unbelievable (though completely believable). I’m gobsmacked.

    Hope these guys are getting paid for every second they spend on the ship, and every second they spend until they are once again safely home.

        As far as I know, the crew did everything correctly, including alerting authorities to shut down traffic to the bridge. The one at fault here is the owner of the ship, who was deliberately forgoing repairs to squeeze out as much profit as possible.

          Well, everything except going on strike and refusing to set sail until the ship was maintained properly, at least…

        Bit of a weird take. The ship had faulty equipment and the crew did what it could to try to avert the disaster.

        The ship’s owners are who you should blame.

          Am I allowed to blame the moral hazard caused by the corporate diffusion of responsibility?

            Definitely. Global shipping is riddled with moral hazard and artificial externalities.
