I wonder why there was no tug boats. I wonder if the ships navigation control was on. Wonder who made the ship turn a hard right into the bridge support. Lots of black smoke pouring out of smoke stack while the ship made that right turn. If they lost power the ship should have gone straight and no right turn possible???

I thought they maybe went full reverse explaining the smoke.

Was a single screw ship so in reverse the rudder was kinda useless against current but I am not an expert.

Tug boats are not required to be used at that part of the harbor.
