  2. Ship Propulsion Loss

    Ship Propulsion Loss

    This section examines the Baltimore Bridge collapse caused by a containership accident due to propulsion loss, highlighting its severe impact on maritime safety and infrastructure. It also presents case studies of similar incidents, analyzing the causes, consequences, and preventive measures. Propulsion losses can result in navigational risks, economic impacts, environmental damage, legal claims, and operational disruptions. Main engine failures and blackouts often occur during critical operations, especially in confined waters, due to poor fuel quality, inadequate maintenance, and control system failures. Understanding these issues and implementing preventive measures is crucial for ship safety and reliability.
