How much of this is falls on the protocols of the shipping company? I.e. the same shipping companies that gouged the planet during covid - did they strip away safety protocols in order for profits/expediency?
Is this similar to Boeing for the shipping world? I realize it is early to come to any conclusions.
The question of this being a rare one off vs container companies deprioritizing safety protocols is what I am interested. The power failures make me go down this logic of thought.
Boeing makes and sells planes, they don't fly people.
Maersk/ZIM rent container ships from another company who makes them and drive them around.
These are completely different companies. A more correct comparison would be something like Jetblue or American Airlines.
But I seriously doubt there is the result of some kind of profit hungry CEO. However I cannot with 100% say it's not until we find more details. But I feel confident enough to avoid the tin foil hat.
