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.

that's totally not the question internet people ask. It's just 'can we do it?'
