I was just about to comment that it would likely be the harbor pilot in charge of the ship. That person is going to know everything about the terrain and the currents, so it had to be a ship malfunction.

Maybe the ship lost power. (Checks thread.) Yeah, that might be it.

I hadn't read the whole thread yet, so I missed the 32,000 mentions of potential power loss. Oops!

Not sure the harbor pilot gets onboard that early. My sister has a female friend that is a harbor pilot master at Port of Philly/Delaware and I believe she takes over within a short distant when she boards the ship. She makes insane amounts of money. Dangerous job.

All reports say the harbor pilots were already aboard.

They must get on very early in the harbor and I did not see an escort tug, which occurs often.

This harbor must have different rules and maybe it is bridge related.

Thought this provided some nice context on the role of the harbor pilot:

The captain can still do what he wants in essence.

If the captains a control freak and won't listen to others, then that's the way it goes.
