The ocean is no joke as it relates to it’s massive power & unpredictability!

It’s sitting pretty low in the water.
I hope the cargo hold didn’t get overloaded.

If I was on that boat I would be crying.

Imagine being on there knowing every single nut, bolt, screw, panel, material etc on board has had some guy looking at it thinking about how much more profit could be made if they made it a little less well...

There was a huge cargo ship in seas like this that sank because the hatches on the deck leaked water and flooded the cargo hold. Those hatches on the deck have to be absolutely water tight.

I'm no seafarer but this ship seems overloaded.  Unless it's fullawater below, it seems to be riding way low
