[QUOTE="PhoenixM3, post: 17027192, member: 140283"] Great write up - are you a First, Third Mate, or "other" civilian Mariner? Is this ship diesel electric? In other words no main engine/s connected through reduction gears to the shaft? It's hard to believe fuel filter swap would cause an identical issues for all engines, (at nearly the same time) considering 2 were online (your thoughts) with 1 in standby. Earlier in this fun thread I asked about when the tugs were released, but later viewed the AIS video and I did see the tugs released after the ship was pointed towards center channel, so they were released. I also agree with your thoughts that the helm would be manned until the ship cleared the harbor and increased to PIM speed in open waters allowing for autotrack. WRT cause of the collision, this sounds like an unfortunate chain of events, involving equipment failure (electric plant switchgear?) coupled with probably human error. [/QUOTE]
