so what was he doing? I mean the Ship Captain!
-
@taniwharugby article slightly misleading in that this occurred in the new section of canal built to take these mammoth ships. Smaller vessels can re-route via the old section. Still caused a big spike in oil though.
Captain's 'excuse' is vessel was hit by a freak wind gust. Surely the ship's designers would have taken into account the windage effect on a vessel the size of a small European principality?

@dogmeat you've got to feel sorry for the captain, poor guy imagine! We've all had driving mishaps, except ours probably weren't world news and on water.
Feel for him. -
@mikedogz that marine traffic one is crazy!
Assume that is only registered vessels with GPS too.

Any ship above a certain size has to have GPS so all of the big ones are there.
I'm studying a Global Supply Chains paper at Uni so this is very topical. The lecturer was nerding out about it.

@nta It’s fascinating but you do find yourself asking “why”?
