This did not take any in depth sleuthing. It is very prominent on their website and considered a major feature of their company.

As an organization aspiring to excellence, issues related to diversity are a high priority at Synergy. We realize that the benefits of diversity are best achieved by fostering greater inclusion and belonging. We will continue to attract, hire, and retain a diverse workforce because that is a key source of good ideas, and talented applicants will be drawn to work with us. But hiring for diversity alone is not enough. We want to ensure that our employees can bring their full selves to work – that they can belong in the fullest sense to the community inside the organization.
At Synergy we want a workplace that is truly characterized by inclusion and belonging. Diversity for us is more about the variety of our thoughts as a team. Although diversity can be created through deliberate hiring practices, inclusion may not automatically follow. We want our entire workforce to appreciate and show sensitivity to the cultural, and any other, differences that exist in our teams, as well as among the people we interact with in our daily business. We strive to create an environment where everyone feels they belong.

Bottom right x 2 could get it.

I still find it very strange that the idea of diversity literally means "outnumber white people".
Diversity should entail a "representation" of people from diverse backgrounds - ideally in a mix representing their portion of the population. That said, another separate issue for me is always - all jobs aren't for everyone, and not everyone aspires to work in a particular job market niche.
Example: I once saw a post or read something online where it was said that the watchmaking industry was racist because there were so many white watchmakers. This argument does not hold water in any way. Using blacks in a scenario, how many young black kids aspire to be a watchmaker? Do this, after extrapolating handicapped, blind, and other preclusions from their 11% representation.in society. What's left?
This diversity shite isn't new in the workforce. It started getting more buzz around 2006. It's been twisted into what it is now - a simple hate tactic vs. anything white.

Diversity is the 1st thing my wife brought up this morning when we saw news on the accident. How predictable.

They're based in Singapore. Honestly wtf does diversity mean out there? Less white males or less asian people? This is a serious question.
Also if you have any experience in shipping you know that natural diversity is commonplace, IE naturally attracting crews and people from all over the world. You don't have to fake it with a DEI initiative. There's not a lot of Frank and Joe Hardy types in shipping other than the US Navy. This is no longer the age of the British Empire owning all the ships.

Imagine seeing a ship lose power, take out a bridge, and instantly blaming it on the fact that there are brown people and women operating it.

Looks like this may have been a little more appropriate than we thought.

In those pictures in the main OP, I see a particular demographic that is utterly bereft of any representation.
Weird how they're so openly bragging about, and promoting, diversity... but I guess that just means including everyone except for black people. Wonder why that is?

Synergy is the company who makes the claim that "diversity is their greatest strength". If thats the case, then why didn't it prevent this disaster from occurring. Was there something they could have been putting resources to, that would have prevented this disaster from occurring?
Was everyone operating this vessel completely qualified for the job, or were there people on board less qualified, but hired because of their appearance?

Not even a close assessment, but an opportunity to play the race card as would be expected. Using DEI hire people instead of merit puts people in jobs they are not qualified for. There are a multitude of instances where this has happened. As long as DEI is in play as displayed on Synergy's website it has to be suspect as to one of the possible causes.
Picking someone for a position because of skin color over someone who is qualified is plain racism.
It's analogous to having a faulty part in a engine. Maybe it wasn't why the engine failed but you have to be suspect.

Synergy Group Twitter page
Check out their Twitter page. It is loaded with DEI ,gender inclusive garbage, green sustainability nonsense.
Not sure how sinking a bridge is considered "green" or sustainable in anyway. Dumbasses.

It’s not supposed to make sense or result in better outcomes. It’s just something people do to feel good. We’re, first and foremost, emotional creatures.

Exactly. Whether the captain was a DEI hire or not, one can almost guarantee that he or she was subjected to hours of wasted time in DEI training that could have been better spent on things like seafaring. Maybe someone on the crew was a DEI hire who failed to do their job that caused the power to go out. Or just the fact the company was not primarily focused on operating ships, and instead expending resources to DEI.
All of these reasons means we can and should place the blame at DEI.

Who is the majority in this country again, expecially when you purge the illegal aliens?

And not even realizing that the ship was almost certainly being controlled by a local harbor pilot.

The electric was probably in her kids name. Along with the cable, water and gas.

1) whatever company manages the local harbor pilots is also probably all-in on DEI
2) the harbor pilots arent responsible for the ship losing power, most likely.

Those Harbor Pilots at Baltimore are much like the River Pilots in New Orleans. A closed shop, but as a group they know their stuff from generational training.
My guess is that this was a Bright Star thing wherein the boilers went out due to problems further down the line that sparked a fire in the engine room area . Bright Star had a bad oil filtration system which shut down the engines.
