The ship in Tuesday's crash, Dali, was involved in at least one prior accident when it collided with a shipping pier in Belgium.

Apparently ships being escorted by tug boats is too expensive, so they avoid it. But for all the money saved, what is this once accident going to cost? Worse yet, the tax payers will end up footing the bill because doubt anyone's insurance will cover the cost of reconstruction of the Key bridge.
Besides the ships contractors will have to pay for the Dali to be cleared from the bridge, towed to port and unloaded for repairs.
