I'm sure that they are all insured up to the hilt. It is unfortunate what happened there but Tianjing, like all of the ports on the Yellow Sea are not places that I would really ever want to go back to - vast sprawling industrial complexes with mile upon mile of dreary buildings. It is also unfortunate that the Chinese idea of Health and Safety at work is not quite the same as we have here in Europe.
