I don’t understand how some ships still don’t have internet access. Wake up, it’s 2007 not the days of sail.

This was in the MarEx Newsletter:

When MarEx went online, salvage experts were still making plans to refloat the vessel regardless of the one confirmed hole. According to the Ports Minister, Joe Tripodi, the salvage operation’s costs would be met by the vessel’s owner. A press release dated the day of the grounding by Lauritzen Bulkers, the charterer of the Pasha Bulker, states: “Lauritzen Bulkers follows the situation very closely and will do their utmost to assist and support the Japanese owner of the vessel as well as the shipping company that has the Pasha Bulker on sublet.”
