I can't say for sure, because the list is so long.
If BP's payouts over Deepwater Horizon are any example, every single entity that can claim any kind of hardship will be in line for part of that money, from the state and feds, all the way to every single shipper that had so much as one container on that ship, to the families of those that died.

AF, refresh my memory.
When the ship blocked the Suez Canal a couple of years ago, wasn't there a possible scenario where each individual entity that had items being shipped on the ship were possibly going to have to pony up for the damage claims?

How Did A Ship Destroy Baltimore's Key Bridge?

Great Video. Thanks for sharing.
So the ship's emergency generator which is relatively small (about the size of a truck engine) is tied to just a few systems, one of which is control of the rudder.
So the question is why it appears they have no rudder control despite the emergency generator being on. And that with no rudder control, the current coming out of Curtis Bay into the Patapsco could have been enough to turn the bow into the concrete supports of the bridge. Had they had rudder control, since the boat was moving forward about 9 mph, they could have easily passed under the bridge even if the motor was not working.
I misspoke earlier in this thread, but this is important to note:
On a lot of older vessels the e-gen will not supply power to steering engine.
But even more important to note, on any modern vessel that has "Z - drive" or "azipod" propulsion, you will have no steering, or more correctly, thrust control, on e-gen power.
That includes almost all cruise ships.
That said, I think they lost a main 480V buss that, even when the e-gen kicked on, it did not apply power to the downstream circuits and just tripped right back off.
Or, the electric powered bow thruster overloaded it and tripped it off, although that normally would not be powered by the e-gen either.

Thanks. I don’t know anything about big container ships, but it seems rudder control is most important even if the engine isn’t running: why would a ship builder not have an emergency generator tied into powering control of the rudder?
Like I noted before, it's cheaper.
On the type of vessels I ran, the four main gens supplied high voltage propulsion power as well as ship's service power and were segregated into two spaces, the idea being that it would be almost impossible that both plants, 2 mains, one main thruster, one or two bow or stern thrusters on each one, with totally separate distribution and control systems, in totally separate spaces, each with its own alarms and fire suppression, could fail at the same time.
On very old ships, steam provides power to the steering engine.
The first electric hydraulics units drew too much power to be hooked up to the e-gen.
More modern designs, like this vessel do have them tied in.
But if the distribution system failed, it would not make any difference, no power would get to the steering engine anyway.
And that is what I think happened here.
The same thing happened to that cruise ship in the Gulf of Mexico about ten years ago, where everybody got stuck onboard for days and days on a dark ship with no lights, water, AC or sanitary systems.

Told you so.
No.
$#@! you, no.
Marxists and Jews and leftists and queeers and coloreds, all of you, no.
You've taken enough of my history, you have scrubbed enough of my past away.
No, you do not get this.
(Now, of course, that's just internet blowhardery on my part. Of course they'll get the name changed, they'll have no real opposition to it. White people are too enstupidated, too disillusioned, too demoralized, too disorganized, too sick from the mind poison, too busy figuring out how to kill their offspring and too weak to lift a finger in their own defense as the momentum of genocide speeds up all around them.)

Is that because Biden is footing the bill on the taxpayers, and maybe they are looking for ways to reduce the expense?

Good video, answers many questions.
- Mainly, the ship turned towards the tower because of the current (tide going out) from a channel coming from the right side of the ship. They had no rudder control, and no time to put the ship into reverse. Dropping the anchor probably had no effect.
- Underwater cable/pipe damage: Sounds like the ship is now sitting on a high pressure gas line. Damage unknown, other than the fact that it is not leaking right now. Makes moving the ship a little tricky.

Interesting she brings up critical infrastructure and talks about the Sallisaw bridge. The navigation channel is important to heartland farmers mainly to export grain. But the bridge itself is Interstate 40. That's a big deal.

Yes.
It was at the time it occurred, and remains my professional opinion, as a Master Mariner of over 40 years experience, today.

Power goes off, official story says ship drifts toward critical support column. But when the power goes back on (lights on) the ship pulls a hard right aligning itself with the column in a precise fashion. Power goes off again for a moment, then back on as the ship throttles forward.
Media muddies the issue of whether or not there was rudder when the lights went back on. Of course there was. The turn was too sharp to be drift. Clear as day this was an attack. Port critical for farm equipment and fertilizer coming into US. Food supply chain attack.

no
They are kicking butt picking bridge up, dredging & opening lanes imo
We ain’t total bitches when it comes to this stuff
No, we are not.
And when the ChiComs came to visit San Fran last year, they had all the drunks and hobos and addicts off the streets and all the $#@! washed off.
And when a Pooh-bah comes to visit the border we can shut it down.
We do not have to live like this.
We live in squalor, crime, mountains of red tape, debt, endless war and anarcho-tyranny because our rulers want it that way.
But it does not have to be that way, it could be turned around in a year.
Why do we tolerate it?
Why do we allow our living conditions to degrade this way?

The Dali is a modern ship built in 2015 by Hyundai. It definitely had rudder.
