Contract is with end user . These runs are based on a certain percentage of Boxes making ontime landfall in PR. The harsh reality is that XYZ gets 87% ontime, why would I pay another provider top dollar when they only get 79% on time average?
Look at the track record Crowley has for this run. Years and years of containers on RORO barges with service from Jax and Philadelphia. They routinely leave in frightening wx. Great record of safety, not perfect but impressive. A fellow tug Captain left Jax with containers and took the inshore (Miami) route at the same time of the El Faro incident. I talked to him later and he said the worst sea he experienced on that trip was 8'.

Are you or have you been the master of any of these vessels you crew on?
If you are superhuman, I guess the guys that come out and pluck your sorry butt out of the water occasionally are just regular joes with no lives.
And worse, the poor bastard that sends the new young guys out to save your sorry asses in severe conditions has no ba** s at all I guess.
While many here on TF may not be salty dogs...but they are far from stupid or cowards. While some are too quick with answers on maritime incidents for my taste, doesnt mean I have automatic distaste for them in general. Sure call them monday morning quatertebacks, but thinking being a merchant mariner is super human
....nope cant even say it....

You must have missed where I said I was joking around to keep things light. But let me bow down to you while you're on your soap box! Also never called anyone a coward or gutless, get over yourself.

Sometimes being humble until you learn the accomplishments of some of the posters here may be the best policy. Many of these guy rate very high in my book but you only learn that by listening and not trying to argue.
Just my SSO.

Ah yes, but only for extremely large values of 2
Now, a question for you...
What is half of one plus one?

At least she's not saying "I don't want a whole beer, I'll just share yours."

Yes, one is a correct answer. As is one and one half. It all depends upon where you put the parentheses.....
