Also important to note.

The logistic company running this ship was Maersk. That is the same shipping company that had the ever given stuck in the suez canal a few years ago.

Is Maersk now officially the "Boeing" of shipping?

They are in terms of "most large planes are Boeing so you'll hear about their accidents most often", no idea if also in terms of "terrible safety culture so there'll be an unacceptable rate of accidents".

No, with the top reason as to why not being that Maersk did not construct the ship.

Saying that Maersk is at blame is like blaming the airline instead of Boeing.. if you want to make that parallel.
