I’m pretty sure that with a ship of that size, the rudders need the propellers wash to maintain steerage.
This isn’t a sailing vessel where the rudder really extends far from the profile of the hull vertically
Correct, the ship needs the propulsion from the props to effectively steer it, otherwise as the forwards momentum is lessened after the props stop, the current and wind will then push the ship in their downward direction regardless of the rudder tilt. The sides of the ship above the waterline and cargo boxes stacked on its deck act as giant sails. The current can be ripping during tidal changes as well.
They were fricked as soon as the power was lost
