      Promising to rush federal aide isn’t the same as saying the company won’t be held liable

      It’s going to be tricky since it was a Port employee behind the wheel at the time. The ship did lose power, but this isn’t a case of negligence like the Exxon Valdez incident.

      Unless they end up proving the power outage was due to negligent maintenance or something.

        There’s not a lot a pilot can do in 100,000+ dwt ship that looses power while underway.
