“She sailed from Florida last Tuesday, right into the storm.”
The storm gained strength rapidly AFTER they sailed AND it reversed course 180 degrees just prior to the sinking.
Had I been the captain, I would have waited a day to determine the storm’s strength. If the journey from Jacksonville to PR really is 2 full days, one day of demurrage wouldn’t amount to much.
Can you estimate hourly demurrage on a vessel like this one ?
which was predicated by several wx prediction models hours before this ship sailed.....
