its not the biggest port so its capacity can probably be absorbed. Seems like vehicle deliveries are the biggest single item everyone's talking about, so maybe expect some disruption there, and the higher rates/slower deliveries of some other cargo might trickle down into consumer prices a little

how they even let a ship on the verge of a double power failure into the harbor in the first place.

Is there new news I haven't seen on the root cause of the power failure? cause it likely wasn't obvious. Plus the ship regained power pretty quickly, just not soon enough to stop. I won't be at all surprised if some signs were ignored but I don't think "they've got mechanical issues, bar them from the harbor" would be normal procedure regardless right?

But I agree, it's wild how many people are going "freak accident nothing to see here, nothing we could have done" when there are no protective barriers around the main piers, and this is like a known problem for decades that could easily have been solved, and should have been, for a bridge near a busy port
