    It’s going to be tricky since it was a Port employee behind the wheel at the time. The ship did lose power, but this isn’t a case of negligence like the Exxon Valdez incident.

    Unless they end up proving the power outage was due to negligent maintenance or something.

      There’s not a lot a pilot can do in 100,000+ dwt ship that looses power while underway.
