The cruise ship terminal in that location along with the Riverboats will be relocated very soon. They have had so many missed disasters in that area of the past 30 years along with the Brightfield/Riverwalk disaster that the Cruise ships & Riverboats won't be able to get insurance to dock there anymore.

Pedantic, but an asphalt ship heading to St Rose.

Untrained eye here, but looks like it had power but not steering.

There is no question the speed that the tanker was going at when it impacted the cruise ship crushed a significant section which likely killed some people upon impact.

Would love to hear how you came to this conclusion by seeing video of the front of the freighter

I was wondering why I couldn't get anyone on the phone at Debosier's office.

Is this the exact same area Carnival, Norwegian, and RC embark?

Reports over the radio were that they lost steering and were attempting to drop anchor.

There's video of the ship colliding, it was at slow speed, looked like it had zero power, but a cargo ship, that size, would do damage at any speed.
