“Should have had a harbor pilot to pilot the boat. You are not supposed to traverse any obstacles without the harbor pilot.”
Yes, the ship should have had a harbor pilot and did have a harbor pilot.
If so, I guess he’ll have to wait until the “experts” arrive at the correct speculation as to what happened in the pilot house. Then and only then, he’ll know what happened.
It’s difficult to explain to people how long it takes one of these tubs of lard to respond to pilot commands.
It takes even longer to try and stop.
It takes a freight train longer to stop than the distance from this ship to the bridge.
You can see in the video the ship made it’s first course adjustment when the power goes out.
No power to adjust the course.
By the time the ship regains power, it’s already doomed.
The second power failure sealed it’s fate.
Exactly but the pilot has no control over the mechanics of the ship. If something fails he is as helpless as anyone else.
NO SHIP CAN ENTER ANY PORT WITHOUT A LOCAL HARBOR PILOT, IIRC
