I’d guess it was as much an issue of keeping up regular maintenance as the initial quality of the vessels. I mean, if your ship was stuck in one place for years it’d be pretty natural to start letting things slide...

i would think so as well. Where are ships made anyway? It's more like only the Germans cared enough (about the ship or the cargo) to maintain it. I very much doubt the other companies were negligent.
