Was the El Faro Seaworthy?

One of these lawsuits discusses whether TOTE was negligent for failing to make El Faro seaworthy.[1]  Every shipowner has an absolute duty to make its ship seaworthy.  However, this does not mean that the shipowner must guarantee the ship is accident-free.  The claimants (plaintiffs) in this case asked the Florida federal court to rule that because the El Faro lost propulsion, this automatically means that the ship was unseaworthy.
