This is an interesting proposal. I do not know why the idea of having the other tugs compete for the job is interesting. In a way the business seems to be developed and has its own rules though it comes with great risks too.unamilagra wrote: ↑29 Apr 2019, 19:46 I found this practice to be extremely interesting. I would think that each shipping company would contract with a certain tug service so there weren't these races. I guess it could be that the boat has an issue out of the tugboat's range though, and it's not like companies have time to send out RFPs when their boat sinks. It just seems so chaotic and dangerous for multiple boats to be heading out in bad weather chasing the same ship.

They weren't stealing the ship, they went out there to bring it back, and they put themselves at risk of not getting there on time and wasting all they put into the trip. I think greed is a very strong and negative word to use here. I agree they were trying to save their business, but I don't consider them greedy. I would consider Buckhorn greedy for trying even to evade paying them out, being the multimillion company that they are.

By salvaging the ship, I thought it created a contract with the owner of the vessel being towed. (I think) But I don't think of it as stealing.

Larry and Louise were motivated by business debt, the maritime laws for the shipping area of the northern Pacific Ocean are complicated.

Although the plot in the novel Adrift is a fictional tale, there are referrals to real maritime subjects and I think that the idea ofAzrevread wrote: ↑07 May 2019, 12:43 While Louise was operating the tugboat, the claim for the custody of the Seattle Express was in question.

the characters Larry and Louise stealing the Seattle Express would be decided by a court case with the use of maritime laws to prove
whether the ship was stolen or not.
