This is true. There are multiple routes.
But the port is blocked; that alone affects trade.
Some think the ship was hacked.
Occam’s razor would suggest the ship’s power was interrupted causing a loss of steering and control, allowing it to veer off course.
The video shows just that.
They’ll have to get that bridge rebuilt PRONTO.
Remember: You can get it done neat…you can get it done fast…you can get it done cheap —- pick two!
I do not believe that. I believe inadequate maintenance of the ship power systems is the root cause of this incident.
The ship had a history of power failures while it was docked in the port. The video clearly shows two complete power failures while the ship was heading outbound, plus a restart that was too late to restore steering control before the ship hit the bridge column.
Those ships are massive, and they do not stop quickly once they are moving. The crew dropped a port side anchor which appears to have been ineffective at even slowing the ship.
I will go with incompetence rather than malice on this one.
