Again, a moment to pause & appreciate the cool professionalism of those in & around the Key Bridge at 1:24 am Tuesday. Ship’s pilot radios in that ship has lost steerage & will hit bridge. Someone (maritime control?) transmits urgent alert to Maryland/Balt police dispatch… —>

The obfuscation of responsibility, ownership, & liability in shipping is alarming.

The airline industry is a close 2nd.

Imagine operating a truck like this:

Cargo owned by 1 entity. Truck owned by a 2nd, leased to a 3rd, speedometer & steering wheel leased & maintained by a 4th, truck driver subcontracted at bottom dollar prices from a 5th, & each element insured separately, each registered & regulated in a different country.

The Kidd bridge lawsuits will last decades.

Reminds me of the incident on a gulf oil platform a few years back.
