I dunno. I would need to know how many times it completed a voyage successfully. After all, it only sank ONCE, right? Metrics are everything. And you could do a root cause analysis to find out why it sank, and implement process improvements so it wouldn't happen again.
It was being towed to China for reconstruction work, and broke in half during a storm. There was no one aboard, and the videos were taken from the ocean-going tug.
You and I might think it could not sink a second time, but that doesn't mean anyone else would agree. I worked on a project once where once a week the team would meet for 2 hours to update the "Gant charts" (a type of progress measurement that project managers love). The managers had very little idea of the substance of the project, and might very well not have recorded the ship sinking as a "one-time event."
You never know. Some people might like freighters that sink slow. I mean, all the people got off.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely not put that freighter in the top ratings. The sea, perhaps. Davy Jones always wins.
ReplyDeletebest cruises to send your mother in law on?

ReplyDeleteOn the other hand...
And CR still keeps sending the freight company surveys asking them to rate their ship.
