FacebookTwitterEmailLinkedin MSC Shipmanagement Limited has been fined $6 million and placed on four years’ probation over the 2024 incident involving the containership MSC Michigan VII in Charleston, South Carolina, which prompted the evacuation of the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge amid fears the vessel could collide with the structure. The Liberian-flagged containership lost the ability to slow its main engine after a linkage rod connecting the engine governor to the fuel rack became disconnected. The vessel accelerated to around 16–17 knots and continued outbound towards the bridge despite commands from the bridge to reduce speed.
