Time will tell, but at least all crew appear to be safe
Solong is the container ship registered out of Hamilton Bermuda, the supposedly offending ship which didn't slow down .

The Stena is a US flagged ship, AMO union manned, and was reported anchored when I looked, but potentially that was after the accident.

Either way, mates, captains and pilots were not doing their jobs properly.

and FYI, i was a licensed ocean going tanker deck officer and pilot for 8 years, working for Gulf Oil and Sun Oil.
