  • Port inspection documents show the Solong failed steering-related safety checks in Dublin, Ireland, in July, with the vessel’s “emergency steering position communications/compass reading” unreadable. Inspectors found a total of 10 deficiencies, including “inadequate” alarms, survival craft “not properly maintained” and fire doors “not as required.”

    An inspection in Scotland in October found two other deficiencies. The ship wasn’t detained after either inspection.

    Maritime law is a mystery to me. Who the fuck okayed this?

    “Bon voyage, losers! The ship is a floating death trap, but whatever.”
