Ramen noodles?From the article....
"The freight was valued at $1.2 million."
That doesn't sound right to me.
Naw, even a ship that size couldn't hold $1.2M of ramen noodles.

We’re an importer of freight, not necessarily an exporter and the ship was outbound at the time of collapse. I bet over 3/4 of those containers were empty being returned to be refilled. Or filled with cheap stuff like grains/hay.From the article....

Dropping anchors on a 95000 ton ship moving at 9 knots was not feasible.They may have been limited as to where and when they could drop one or more anchors due to underwater pipes and cables! And, the two pilots on board would have been fully cognizant of those limitations.
This is what happened in the Straits of Mackinac just 6 years ago.

Since 19 & 63....Perhaps but the conspiracy theorists have had a pretty good track record post 2020
Cape Henry - only one I know by that name is at Norfolk. Our pilots left near Hunter's point in SF bay. Or the airport in S.D. bay. Once in the channel, on your own.

It was a big thing during the Evergreen mess. There was some discussion about the conversations happening on the bridge and how the pilot and captain were interacting.I thought they actually had control while on board.
Guess I was wrong.
Sounds like the article might be missing some zeros. I have to think that even the empty containers would be worth more than that.From the article....

Good point since that's a pretty big ship and looks like it would hold at least 5000 containers. I'm going to assume those things are worth at least 3 to 5 grand each.Sounds like the article might be missing some zeros. I have to think that even the empty containers would be worth more than that.
Last voyage containers - the used up ones that end up as storage barns in the pasture are what, $2500? There’s markup as they change hands, so my uninformed guess is something along what you posted.Good point since that's a pretty big ship and looks like it would hold at least 5000 containers.

Money can get shit done
So can the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers!!
They don't work for free. They have $124 million in the budget just to dredge the harbor for this deal.
