[plain talk]

Not sure about the Captain. But there's this.

"Synergy Marine, the Singapore company that operates the Dali, said it was being controlled by two Baltimore port pilots at the time of the collision."

THAT WOULD BE NORMAL

MASTER PILOTS TAKE SHIPS INTO & OUT OF PORT.

DURING THOSE TIMES-—Captain is a passenger.

PILOTS are completely in charge-—

THEY KNOW EVERY ROCK—SAND BAR—TIDES—EVERYTHING

I SUSPECT THEY ARE VERY WELL PAID.

IIRC—THIS IS WORLD WIDE.
