many reasons this could happen. Apparently 500-600 ships pass daily through that stretch. The track of the Cargo ship could have been a reaction to avoiding other traffic.
other issues, visibility. They say it is good, but still easy to lose track of ships. Even if, I assume everyone has running lights, if you have a lot of ships, it is easy to misjudge the distance to any one.
look forward to seeing the accident report.
RIP to those poor sailors and their families.
