The pilots say that Port Tampa Bay leadership is leaning on them to change policies in ways they say would be less safe.

The world watched as the grounding of the Ever Given in the Suez Canal played out. In a 2-part Quadcast Shipping Special, the "Quadcast" reviews the consequences and legal implications of a major maritime incident of this type.
