Simple Hammer Fix Saves Millions on Giant Ship Repair

A seemingly insurmountable problem aboard a massive cargo ship—a broken engine—was solved with a surprisingly simple and inexpensive fix, highlighting the invaluable role of experience and expertise in problem-solving. The ship, facing immense waves and a stalled engine, seemed destined for costly repairs. However, an experienced engineer, upon inspecting the engine, identified a minor issue. With a few well-placed taps of a hammer, the engine was back online. "It's not always about the tools, but knowing where and how to use them," the engineer explained. The total repair cost? A mere \$100,000. This incident serves as a powerful reminder that experience often outweighs expensive technology in resolving complex issues.
