There's a 3rd failure: the failure to install/upgrade dolphins that could deflect a modern containership, despite the identified need for such. That proposed project seems cheap in retrospect.

Yes, 100%. Lots of failures across the board here. Especially with large ships and how many different nations they might be registered in, I can't imagine it's easy to have a lot of regulatory oversight into their construction, mechanical inspection or maintenance schedules. I'm curious how modern ports handle this problem, feels like it could cause a ton of issues beyond just catastrophic ones like this one.
