They make it sound so bad by using liters. In cubic meters, it's near insignificant: 20 cubic meters is like your 12 foot diameter pool's contents, and all in the bilges. A valve broke - it happens - big deal! It's nothing for a 6700 tons displacement vessel.

Not a boatologist; are the described issues legitimately not a big deal save for a routine maintenance stop that just so happens to be Hawaii?

My daughter's above ground pool is a 20,000 liter pool. It ain't that much and I am a landlubber.

You're right, these vessels have been problem free and Irving and produced another high quality product. This is simply a one off event for the class.

Move along.
