And if that's not bad enough
Series of coincidences? Or indicative of poor management?

Marquette Transportation was operating the tugboat named Kristine Alexis, which was towing the crane barge that ran into the Sunshine Bridge early Friday morning, according to U.S. Coast Guard Lt. Commander Raymond Wagner.

Marquette Transportation was operating the Steve Richoux tugboat that was towing the raft of barges that crashed into Mardi Gras World during New Orleans Mayor Latoya Cantrell’s inaugural ball.

Friday’s crash was also not the first time a Marquette Transportation vessel hit a bridge. The company, which was founded in 1978, managed the towing vessel that hit the U.S. 80 bridge near Vicksburg, Mississippi, in 2008.

Hope they have good insurance. That bridge is gonna be down for a while and the repair is not going to be cheap.

Not to stereotype but that tugboat sounds like a slut.

Are these operators the same ones that get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars a year and only there family members can do it? Or is that state operators that run that racket.
Hitting bridges is pretty hard to do
Accident or not well done
. One way to usher in a new corrupt mayor in chocolate city.

When you have a fleet as large as theirs you're bound to have accidents.

From a closed Facebook group on Towboating. They have video of the boat rolling and sinking. Also video of the AIS feed showing the Kristan Alexis allision.

Jones Act limits lawsuit to value of the boat unless gross negligence can be proven. Kristin Alexis was built in 1978.

You obviously don't know what you're talking about with this so it might just be better to stay quiet and sit this one out.

They should only owe the value of their vessel and cargo.
