Cargo ship detained in Brisbane after crew unable to use navigation equipment
Unbelievable but apparently true. This reminds me of the cargo ship that wrecked on Nantucket Shoals back in the 1980s. That ship had almost no navigation equipment onboard and no clue as to where they were. http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/queensland/cargo-ship-detained-in-brisbane-after-crew-unable-to-use-navigation-equipment-20160527-gp5azt.html |

Wow! Thankfully they didn't get by with it. But I wonder how one could think they could pilot a vessel of this size without knowing how to pilot a vessel this size?
