To me, that damage doesn't look major.


Given the SOLAS requirement, that ship shouldn't have sank.


The damage is major. I don't see how you can look at the pictures
available and see otherwise.


*From one article:

"It's possible, with small areas of damage, to prefabricate a [steel]
patch and put it into place," says Dawn Gorman, editor of the magazine,
International Tug & OSV.

It says SMALL AREAS of damage.


He is clearly speaking in the 'conditional'... common sense tell us
that this evaluation, however small or large, could not have been
completed by today and surely not by this editor.

Possible to patch small areas of damage. That does not mean there are only
small areas of damage. It does not say the damage is small. And since you
only quote part of the article I can't see the whole context. I can quote a
lot of articles on this that say the whole is large and the damage was
major. You seem to be looking for any straw that will support a notion you
came up with. I have been reading dozens of articles and looked at lots of
the pictures. The consensus from what I read was that it is a large hole.
And none I have seen put forward your notion. Really though until the
investigation is done and we can read the results all is speculation.
