What’s hard to believe with a design that fragile, there were no bollards protecting it.
The design is only fragile in the context of what happened. That ship had a dead weight tonnage of 116,000 tons. That weight moving at 8 knots is going to obliterate just about anything; it's not something that will ever be designed for save in the bollards that should have been there.

It had an issue…
Probably the deep state taking out a port where 30% of the nations coal goes through. Now with more opportunities for bribes and payoffs. Get ready crawfish prices are going up!

Has the ship company/ship owner/insurance cut a check yet? How long will it take for them to do so? Do we just sit on our hands waiting for that check to start cleanup and construction or do we get started now with our own funds and recover from them in due time?

Realistically litigation will take years. Those ships and shipping companies run with multiple different shell companies operating them. The company that had the contract is different than who owns the boat and that who runs the crew and then there’s the channel pilots. Throw in some likely maintenance issues, etc.
I don’t like it but the fed gov needs to step in to reopen the port as soon as possible.
