Patriot, pretty much what I suspected early on with these Cargo ships and insurance. Reportedly the normal SOP is to unload the ship prior to moving to avoid causing damage. This was not done, and we have a thread where the President of Egypt ordered the ship to be unloaded.
I agree , I also suspect claims being filed now.
I agree with you on needing more evidence. But lets look back when our Ports were handed over to a Foreign Country ? That is a threat to National Security. because one could actually bring into this Country anything they wanted to. Would the DS set up nukes as insurance ? I suspect they would. But also would allow them to conduct Human Trafficking, Drug Operations, to name just a few.
I have a suspicion we will soon find out. But definitely something we need to keep our eyes on.
Are you talking about Todd Shipyard in Los Angeles? I'm not sure on the details but it was something about China gaining a long term lease or ownership of some sort? Not sure how many other ports have been handed over to foreign nations or which nations but yes, there's no way this can be a good thing.
Found this article on the topic: https://amac.us/with-acquisition-of-california-port-china-broadens-influence-on-us-commerce/
So, I'm not sure who owns the location of Todd Shipyard but it seems COSCO took the port facility. Not sure where I got the idea that Todd was part of the deal.
Just looking at the front page of this site is cause for concern: https://na.coscoshipping.com/
Looks like COSCO is balls deep in USA https://na.coscoshipping.com/cosco-shipping-north-america-inc-presented-2020-hero-award-by-hudson-regional-hospital-in-new-jersey/
Huffington post takes up the issue: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/why-are-any-us-ports-owne_b_16325
Patriot, here is another article.
https://www.mundomaritimo.net/noticias/80-of-us-ports-already-foreign-owned
Notice how vague that article was? No exact mention of who owns what terminal and port and just points to Singapore. I was actually looking for a list with all the ports and terminals and who owns which. The article doesn't mention China or COSCO (China Ocean Shipping Company) even once.
