Why not make the shipping company pay its part.

Because Maersk’s max liability is essentially the value of the ship. Their insurance is through a pool of like $3b.

That won’t come close to covering the damages here, much less a rebuild.

Reinsurance is $3B for Maersk.
There are other channels of insurance. And like BP after Deepwater Horizon and the Valdez spill, Maersk/Synergy Marine Group can both individually be responsible for overages.
