I'm thinking they need to bring in some sort of asshole salvage outfit and start torching that shit up and get it out of the way. Ships need to pass through there.
I wonder if they could bring in a barge crane big enough to lift the entire span out. Or maybe cut it into 2-3 lengths and pull them out if the drink. |

So on a scale of most likely to least likely, you're saying that Aliens is in between accident and intentional? |

Found out all the containers for my big customer are coming off the ship in Norfolk tomorrow. Another customer’s are being discharged in New York. It’s dependent on port rotation.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By realwar: The Dali cargo ship which smashed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge suffered a 'severe electrical problem' while docked in Baltimore days before, according to a port worker. Julie Mitchell, co-administrator of Container Royalty, a company which tracks cargo, told CNN the ship was anchored at the port for at least 48 hours prior to the deadly crash. Following the devastation, she said: 'And those two days, they were having serious power outages… they had a severe electrical problem. It was total power failure, loss of engine power, everything.' Mitchell explained that refrigerated boxes tripped breakers on board the ship on several occasions, and mechanics had been trying to fix the issue. She said she didn't know whether the problem had been fixed when the ship set off. https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2024/03/27/20/82970217-13246079-image-a-25_1711571824924.jpg Mitchell told CNN that major power problems on board large vessels like the Dali are 'not really that common at all', describing the freak incident as 'very rare'. 'They shouldn't have let the ship leave port until they got it on under control,' she said. 'The vessel went dead, no steering power and no electronics... The smell of burned fuel was everywhere in the engine room and it was pitch black,' the officer said. When a ship such as the Dali loses power, backup generators kick in but they do not fulfill all of the same functions as the main power, Pagoulatos said. Inspectors found a problem with the Dali's machinery in June, but a more recent examination did not identify any deficiencies, according to the shipping information system Equasis. The port authorities said the ship had remained at the dock for repairs for some time after the incident. 'As a general rule, these accidents are investigated and ships are only allowed to leave after experts have determined it is safe for them to do so,' a spokesperson for Antwerp port told Reuters. Link I would think electrical problems that severe and having mechanics repairing the problem while in port for 2 days would be enough to trigger another inspection before they allowed it to leave. How long was it functional after the last outage before they let it leave the port? Too many refrigerated boxes on it or some other overload? Trying to carry more refrigerated cargo than the power system was rated for or something? If auto mechanics can declare a car unsafe to be on the road, you'd think port workers would be able to do the same for a ship that is clearly having major issues. |

Big generators often smoke on startup, check out youtube. They pour the fuel on to get up to operating RPM quickly. I'm not sure how much pollution control the ship has, you can see constant (less dense than startup, obviously) smoke from the stack in drone footage while the ship is just sitting there in the aftermath. |

I was just at Taco Bell and ordered a delicious, delicious Baja Blast. When they handed it to me, I noticed there was no straw. I asked why they didn't put a straw in my delicious, delicious Baja Blast, and they told me they ran out because GD has been grasping them all while screaming about Die Hard 4 style hacking. Thanks Obama, your movie is responsible for all of this.

Why are people surprised when technical problems arise on these ships?
They're staffed with crew members making around $2-3/hour. You won't find highly skilled labor for that, anywhere. The majority of Ships' deck crews and related workers earn a salary between 8,291 and 41,707 (rupees) per month in 2024. Job Responsibilities: - Standing look-out watches at sea and when entering or leaving harbour or other narrow waters - Steering ships according to instructions - Handling ropes and wires, and operating mooring equipment - Maintaining and, in some cases, operating ships' equipment, cargo gear, rigging, lifesaving and firefighting appliances - Performing deck and hull cleaning, scraping, painting and other maintenance duties as required - Breaking out, rigging and stowing cargo-handling gear, stationary rigging and running gear... https://paycheck.in/career-tips/role-income/india-ships-deck-crews-and-related-workers |
