“The first question that must be asked now is the role DEI may have played in these instances.”

I doubt DEI had anything to do with it. Singapore owned or leased, with probably an international crew, that has to work, and be competent.
Unlike USA “everyone gets a trophy” young people.

I’d reserve judgement on that for a bit. Going into and out of the harbor (and bay) ships are controlled by local “Pilots”.

Every Shipping magnate registers their ships as foreign owned.

I know Paul Martin, former PM and shipping magnate does this.

At the time of the egregious error, 2 American pilots controlled the ship.

But wouldn’t the ship be required to take on an American pilot captain? I think that is the way it works.
