Mr. Jakob Pinkster:

I am a Dutchman and also a naval architect. I am very ashamed of what has probably happened. It looks like the stability books are not correct. I cannot understand who would do something like that. I can understand why they might be incorrect in that some people think that if they make a mistake and do not own up to it, they will not have to pay any money. If there is a design fault in a ship, it has to be fixed and that costs a lot of money. Maybe that was the incentive, if the books are incorrect, which I think they are. I certainly cannot say that I know this was done on purpose, but it is not right anyway. That is one thing I know. I hope that answers the question.
