but I'm guessing that it wasn't incompetence on the part of the harbor pilots.
There was no smoke in this view until after the power went out.
Ship was built in 2015. That's not that long ago so I doubt it was mechanical failure.
I bet they put it in full power reverse. It has fixed pitch blades so to put it in reverse they'd probably have to shut the engines down. It's not normal procedure anyway to quickly go from forward to reverse and that probably led to the smoke and power failures and crazy steering (steering in reverse while moving forward will not go as expected).

Somebody fucked up many times in this incident.
