    rock auto does not stock them either.. All Kidding aside, maybe they didn't treat the fuel, and maybe had critters in the day tank.

    Itll be years Ships are piped in such a way, that They can not pump new fuel directly in to the engine , it has to be pumped in to a settling tank, then heated, so ,it can run through the fuel oil purifier , and then in to tank, where fuel oil treatment is added, and you ALWAYS add fuel oil treatment to DFO ALWAYS. LOL prick FYG only the wiper blades, but they don't have em for Hendrys truck. On the LNG fueled vessels There are 2 filter elements on the Pilot oil filter skid ,the pre filter and the final filter, there are 3 pilot oil filter skids on the vessel 1 for the aux DGenerators and 2 for the Mn Engine . This is the cost for the prefilter element, ( smaller one) Filter element MAN Plate 010.110.100-01 : M.A.N B&W P/N 010.110.100-0005-1DHJ7 $ 520.00 EA Gasket set MAN Plate 010.110.100-01 : M.A.N. B&W P/N 010.110.100-0005-J654H $ 197.07 EA They come From Germany and the lead time is almost 3 months. If you find this enthralling ???? and you want to know what the pilot fuel is??? I can splane it.

    The emergency generator does not connect to propulsion but should support steering and navigation systems but the ships heading appears to have been pushed off course by the wind directly into the support column.

    Different issue, that is a LOT of I beam steel, the salvage plan for the bridge will take a long time, you just don't move that like twigs, there will be several companies involved too.

    I think she lost electric power, maybe not propulsion power, 2 separate systems. The steering gear system that operates the rudder is electro hydraulic, electric motors running hydraulic rams. There are at least 2 diesel generators, maybe 3 and for the vessel to loose both, there must have been a critical failure. There is also critical system redundancy, an emergency Diesel generator, that critical electric system like the steering gear electrics are hooked in to. Who knows maybe by the time the EDG kicked in it was too late. Yes, I heard they had a pilot on board, and he must have been screaming HARD PORT. Port is shut down, and no, we are a liner service Hawaii California.

    Is Maersk " chartering in" the vessel " where as they charter/rent and the owners do what Maersk tells them to do, or are they Bareboat Chartering the vessel, where Maersk Runs the vessel and also Manages it, and pays the owners a daily fee according to " world scale rate" . The entire Port is shut down, untill the wreckage is removed, Isnt that Bridge the only way for trucks to get in and out ???even when they open the port, without the bridge, how is cargo going to get out. No Idea, as I heard she lost power, why didn't they drop the hook immediately ?? prbly /maybe not enough time to react ???? before the colision, ??? I dunno I dont have a captains License. Assuming she is a diesel, a few things would have to go wrong for her to loose power, or a major engine room issue would have had to happen. We will find out soon enough
