Revoke their corporate charter.
We need to start "executing" bad corporate actors, full stop.
thank you for saying this. get rid of republicans and we're halfway there.
And racists were posting bile against the Indian/Sri Lankan crew on the ship.
As if they were responsible for disaster and not the greedy rich pricks.

You'll notice they disappeared pretty quickly when it was revealed pilots from the harbor were at the helm... ah, such is the life of a racist. Quickly running from one manufactured outrage to another... don't let facts get in the way of a good rage session.
Yep, it's nearly always local pilots to drive in and out of ports. They know the area best.
It's almost too bad, in a way.
Indian racists/casteists will mutter about DEI themselves. Would have been hilarious to see the cracks in that alliance start to widen.
as long as the republican party is a force in politics, these companies will continue to get away with this shit.
They were not even at the wheel... Local crew manoeuvres these boats out of port
"Sanctioned" is such a weird word.
It either means "formally condemned", or "formally authorized". XD
It's a pretty vague word in this context too. Something official was done. As you can see, the sanctions solved the issue.
Oh boy. Now the shit storm begins, Randy. Its gonna be shit all the way down.
Oh yeah some mid level manager will get thrown in gaol and life will go on as usual.
You hear that boy, the shit winds are a blowin.
Wow too bad they aren't going to do anything about that Boeing whistleblower who "committed suicide".
Ah I see they made the newbie mistake of not assassinating the whistleblower like Boeing.
The next article headline will be: Feds SLAM Danish company for destroying Key bridge.
One of the very few places which mentions that it was a Maersk ship
Fat lot of good that did obviously
Well, in theory now in court there is more evidence of a pattern of behavior that can be used to justify harsher penalties.
In theory...
Man everyone should watch that West Wing episode that was almost exactly about this: corporate lawyers for cargo ships minimum liability.
Wasn't it oil tankers? Sam was negotiating the deal when Josh approached him about joining the Bartlett campaign. At the 11th hour he suggested they could spend a little more money and make it safer. When they refused to even consider it he quit. Then there's a callback in a later episode where the ship he negotiated the deal for has an accident and causes a big oil spill.
Sorry. I think I've watched the entirety of west wing at least 4 times lol.
