It was worth $110M in 1977. Probably a couple $Billion now.

It's cost is both material and in the business of links from one side to the other. It's almost certainly worth multi billions at this point.

This formula means, generally speaking, that the shipowner is entitled to limit his liability for the negligence of the master or crew, but not for his own personal negligence or that of his managerial personnel.

Does this mean, if the captain fucks up their liability is limited, but if the accident is caused due to systematic poor maintenance maybe not?

Yes, there's rather shady business surrounding ship insurance, actually.

Sir I will insure your ship for just a $1000 premium. I only take payment in iTunes gift card.

I think that's when it was built. A superstructure like a major port bridge will be well into the billions in 2024 money.
