Lots of factors
Lots of stresses on a grounded ship
All ships are built to a class standard whether ABS DNV LLOYDS RINA etc
And yes there are steel standards and Chinese steel not the best reputation for sure
Ronnie. Drydockings required twice in 5 years but may have an in the water survey in the middle on lieu of drydock depending on age. I deal with this allot as I speak actually. Companies want to save money. Shipyards are expensive no kidding.
Not sure where that ship was built but not old. My ship is 1986. Getting old.
I’d have to say the design of a bulker with big open holds is weaker than a tanker or container
I wonder what they use the wood chips for. Energy or making Osb.
