If they had such issues just prior to this accident, while docked, shouldn’t that have required satisfactory investigation and fixing before being allowed to continue on? Wonder if there is even some sort of protocol for that kind of thing?
“DOCKING” for unloading & reloading is a planned event—and tightly scheduled, IIRC.
Other ships are coming into the area, and they need their slot open to unload/reload.
One TV shot showed 7 or 8 ships already backed up outside the bay.

Of course there is a protocol. It’s called DEI.
