The lawsuit claims that the owners of the cargo ship failed to rectify known electrical issues, citing reckless negligence that led to a devastating bridge collapse.
Allegations detail that due to a cost-cutting measure, critical ship functions like the anchor deployment systems and bow thrusters were rendered unavailable, exacerbating the crisis.
The Justice Department seeks recovery of over $100 million spent to remove debris and restore operations in the port, underlining the financial impact of the incident.
The failure to address these electrical and mechanical issues has raised serious concerns about safety protocols and operational integrity within the shipping industry.
