Steering and engine controls are now all computerized.
Somebody or something makes a mistake, full right rudder.
Unless it’s sunk with scuttling charges etc, they’ll have it gone tomorrow.

Just yesterday, I saw a guy on CNBC talking about USA ports.
He said no USA ports are currently designed to load or unload these giant ships.
The photograph of the grounded ship is amazing.
They might need every tug boat in Panama to get thing back on course!

It’s not likely they would be bringing tug boats across the ocean for something like this.
