It’s my tax money I should be able to pick the color for the next bridge.
Maybe a nice mural. I want my tax money to go toward painting huge open jaws with monstrous teeth, that all ships need to sail into
Giant sideways butt that mirrors on the water, with a hand spreading it. /s
You can pick any color as long as it's 'rust'.
So, will the company that owns the ship and employs the crew pay us back the money? Or at least what ever insurance company?? Or will it be years like the BP Oil Spill disaster?
Anything big like this is going to take years to resolve.
The government is simply fronting the money quickly to get things moving.
And, yes, the shipping company and their insurance will eventually be on the hook. But that takes time.

From what I remember from Maritime law is that it's weird. I wonder how you can so easily claim that the shipping company "will be on the hook".
