Once the freighter is loaded, is it safer at sea than in port if a hurricane hits (engines operating)?
Doesn’t The Navy usually sends their ships out if a hurricane approaches ?
yes depends on the port. this is not 1800’s. then you go around the hurricane not into it. see my other post on sail boats known avoidance directions. if not stuck somewhere due east of North Carolina now where it should have been heading after setting out. this course of seamanship is as fishy as the smell of obamah’s underwear. death by suicide choice hurricane.
I do not know anything about seamanship but I do know during hurricane Hugo, which I experienced, many shrimp boat captains manned their boats and went out.
One would think the ship’s crew would be getting continuous weather and sea condition reports to know what they were getting into. With just one engine comes great risk in foul weather.
