How does insufficient oversight in other jurisdictions apply when the ship was exiting a US harbor?
My understanding is it's the responsibility of every port to clear seaworthiness of vessels putting out (not exhaustively, perhaps, but enough to ensure that, for example, they don't wreck your bridges on the way out of your harbor).
- kfarr 3y agoI encourage you to read the sources but the TLDR as I understand it that seaworthiness requirements vary significantly by the region to which the vessel is registered. The port doesn’t have the same regulatory power, nor the resources, as a nation state to investigate and enforce, especially with regards to long term preventative maintenance
