Move is not complete will take most of the day.
Great. Is the HSC open again?
Well, you know, it’s funny. I’ve been here 11 years, and for the first nine, everybody said, “you can’t move her, you can’t move her, you can’t move her.” And I would agree she’s not movable unless you planned it and did the proper preparations. And then if you look, you know, I think most people would slow down and go, wait a minute, this whole thing’s insured. So the insurers wouldn’t want any part of it if they weren’t convinced we could safely move it.
The towing companies, the marine surveyors, the engineers, the Coast Guard, the Houston pilots, the Galveston pilots, everybody’s all in on this. And they’re not in on it because it’s going to sink. They’re in on it because we’ve simulated it twice, and we all know and everybody’s impressed. They say “we never see anybody go to this extent.” This is going to work. It’s going to work fine.
And then obviously, the other one that always tickles me, the people go, “Hey, you’re going to sink her.” I’m like, you know they ripped the side off the Titanic and it still took it 2 hours and 45 minutes to sink. The ship is not going to be there and then be gone. If anything catastrophic happened, we’ve predetermined spots down the channel where we simply would ground her, put the divers in the water, figure out what’s going on. We’ll pump the water out and we’ll get up and get going.
Good info from the head of the org.
