[quote]In my experience, most of these 3rd world crews would work offshore as long as you would let them. And these were in living conditions I assume are worse than this ship. [/quote]

Would love to see someone do a YouTube documentary on Corn Pop. They could interview the former workers/ patrons of the pool. Then they can find the kids who used to rub his legs to feel his white person hair.
Then the sequel; Joe on Robin Island with Mandela....

re: Cargo ship revs up engines and steers into Bridge support
Posted by SeaBass23 on 3/26/24 at 5:54 pm
I’m not being hyperbolic, the owners of the ship get their money, then another company manages the ship and receives less money taking into account fuel costs, berthing charges, maintenance and crewing costs. The management company is operating on tight margins at times.

Probably not, but shippers are trying to save a penny whenever they can. Plus, if you asses the risk there are probably ...

I’m guessing the reason they stopped having tugs escort the ship through the bridge is cost. It would add $5-10k f...

I think it may have been an issue of the engineers maybe getting the engine back online if you are referring to the smoke stack. The emergency generator kicking on won’t give as much smoke but you’ll see some electrical systems lighting off....

[quote]The ship apparently lost propulsion. Does a container ship have electric propulsion? I have seen both electric and engine driven propulsion on the ships I have been on, but those were Gulf service boats.[/quote]

There are too many ways to get in trouble drinking now. Everyone has a camera in their pocket and social media can broadcast your drinking to the world.
Athletes can get banned from sports if they are caught drinking anytime during the school year. Parents can go to jail if they host parties as we...
