Very cold and I have to wonder if the captain of that ship was blind stinking drunk to have had to hit that bridge the way he did.

Apparently the ship lost power.

There were 2 power failures. Lights went out.
It might be something intentional was done to interrupt the power plant. More likely it had fuel problems and restarted.
The ship was moving pretty fast before the incident.

Into and out of harbors, big ships have a tugboat, or a local who knows the harbor (a “harbor pilot”) is steering the ship.
The ship reported to the MD Dept of Transportation that they’d lost power and might hit the bridge.
