The cargo was being transported for a company in Denmark. It was being lead out of the harbor by a local harbor pilot, which is standard operation. Local people bring the ships in and out of the harbors, to and from open water, because local people know the harbors best.

There was smoke coming out super thick and black from the smokestack, which means something wasn't right. The smoke started during the approach to the bridge, before the power went out the first time.

Seems to me it was a horrible accident caused by some kind of electrical/engine failure.
