[Richardo]

1. There is no ship "The Maersk". It's a company that owns 450 container ships

...and 1,900,000 shipping containers.

[zeemike]

2. It is the way it is written up that causes the confusion

They say the Maersk Alabama when they should say the Alabama,a Maersk class ship....

[muriel_volestrangler]

4. No, I think Richardo has got it right

Maersk is one of the largest shipping companies in the world; these cases are about the company, not the ship (only one mentions the Alabama), nor the class of ships 'Maersk-A' that someone found - named after the company.

[cali]

3. Please correct your title line. It's just wrong.

Maersk is a corporation with many ships. The Alabama is but one of those ships.

[TheBigotBasher]

5. Corrected - thanks.

I still note the employee abuse claims and the cases for pension rights.

[cali]

6. Thank you. and thanks for posting the OP

interesting stuff.

[Richardo]

7. To answer your question, you should do the same search for other container lines

OOCL, Hapag-Lloyd, COSCO (China's line), Atalntic Container Line, etc


Then compare their litigation to Maersk. Then separate loss and damage issues from personal injury, personnel and asbestos issues.
