[QUOTE=cmjeff;171106]Sorry can’t help but make a comparison.
Look under “General Conclusions” Page 120 of the Marine Electric Casualty Report. The VERY FIRST conclusion is:
“By virtue of its relationship to the vessel oweners, ABS [I][B]cannot by considered impartial [/B][/I]in spite of the many years experience of their surveyors”.
Now flip back to page 86 of that report and read the findings under “ABS INSPECTION ROLE”. Does any of that sound familiar?
No? Go look over the documents here: USCG’s Alternate Compliance Program.
Now does page 86 sound familiar??[/QUOTE]
Wow… This does look important (and slightly unbelievable!) thanks for sharing Jeff.
Was the El Faro enrolled in this program??
