I'm guessing ultimately, it's the Captain who is at fault for going ahead with the journey.  They are insured to the hilt, so no harm done (no loss of life etc).

A good example of why they should chain all vehicles, not just lorries. And someone forgot to lash the refer trailer

In reality, they should have cancelled or the captain should have diverted

As I said above - It's down to the Pilot (I said Captain err).

Should not have left the port!

You tie all 4 wheels, not the car. Then it won't move. Just look at the next recovery truck you see - although there's a good chance the driver will have been too lazy to use all four.

It's down to the bosses, not the captain. They should have cancelled it

Next down the line, the captain should have circumnavigated the worst of the storm

Indeed... Not often cars fall off transporters or recovery trucks, if the driver has done his job properly

The captain of the vessel is who decides weather or not a boat sails, and if he bows to pressure from the owners, that's a whole load of do-do they are both in.

O and please it's a Fridge trailer not a refeer (Americanism).
 
Looking at the pictures, the fright went over and then was rolled back upright,buy the force of the storm.
