[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 405550, member: 412"] I suppose their argument is it becomes nearly impossible for business to continue with an unknown amount of liability hanging over their head. Nobody in their right mind is going to put cargo on any ship from that company knowing that any day the doors could be chained shut. That being said, I would be against any judgements regarding liability limits prior to any assessment of the ship, the crew, and its training/maintenance policies and logs. I don't know diddly squat about operation of any big ships. But, I do know that this incident should have NTSB, Coast Guard, and the Navy at a minimum looking at every single structure over water with commercial boat/ship/barge traffic and assess whether the bridge supports have enough strength and safeguards based on the current and predicted future size of cargo ships.
