Did the mechanics sign off on fixing the major electrical issues?

Maybe that's a problem.

"Mechanics" trying to troubeshoot a problem that an electronics/electrical technician, electro-mechanical technician or electrician should have been working on.

Modern ships, cars, trucks, etc., have become basically CNC machines that move.

If you don't understand ALL of the systems, feedback loops, motor drives, hydraulics, electronics, pneumatics, mechanics, computers, PLCs, etc., and how they interact, you will miss a LOT in attempting to troubleshoot.

Yeah, who knows why (either the author of the story, or the co-administrator of Container Royalty) choose to use the term "mechanic."

Not being in the maritime shipping industry in any capacity, I can't say what the protocol is but...I'm surprised this ship didn't undergo a major, thorough inspection after having some 2 days of "serious" electrical issues that directly impacted major ship systems.

The ship underwent 27 inspections since the Dali came into service in 2016. There were no issues until June, when Chilean authorities found deficiencies in propulsion and the auxiliary machinery.

DHS said the Dali lost propulsion as it left Baltimore Harbor, which makes the June inspection particularly interesting.

27 inspections in 8 years? Seems this ship (like other similar ships?) get inspected in each port. Was that done in Baltimore? Cleared prior to these major alleged electrical issues? Or, was it subsequently inspected....and cleared?

Either this is a one in a [insert large number here] coincidence or this is something else.

Are there any 3rd party investigatory teams that can/will look into this? I've got 0% trust this government will be truthful and forthright.
