This is going to be the issue. There are videos in the threads here showing it losing power as it approached and by the time they regained steerage, it was too late.
I'm also kinda surprised there were zero escort tugs of any kind.
Obviously, I'm wrong, but I had always thought that when navigating inland and near infrastructure, the big ships had help.

Tell that to the Pilot that hit the Sunshine Skyway Bridge in Florida.
There are no escort tugs ....A bus of Greyhound passengers learned the hard way.

I think they do around the docks etc, but I think this one had cleared all that and was headed out to sea.

I’m thinking when a container ship is underway, tugs turn from useful guides to rubber ducks.
Anyway.. by the time there is is an issue raised.. the tugs would take a while to get in position. It would take more than a couple minutes.
