It doesn't matter what the bridge is worth, the owners are only liable up to the value of the ship. They're protected by US and International law. The owners will be filing to limit their liability soon if they haven't done so already.

Interesting.
Does this mean, if the captain fucks up their liability is limited, but if the accident is caused due to systematic poor maintenance maybe not?
[IANAL]To a degree yes, this is why they love to find human error, it gets them covered by their insurance and limits the liability. Systemic issues that can be proven to come from the office would open them up. This is all before we get into shell companies and vessel charters .
