Shit could be a raft of things really @Ryan, the ship may have been under steam by the captain or a pilot (most ports run pilots for bringing in ships that are skippered by inexperienced people, do so many entries into port under the pilots command and you can then have a free ticket) so could be either the skipper or a pilot at the helm and they have fucked up steerage or thrust? I also see the tugs attached so they could have fucked up or a rope snapped? Either way I'd say the shipping line would be looking to the insurance company to help out.

@Gibo. Thanks for not blaming the hard working warfe/deck hands at the previous port .

Shot @Gibo, been hanging out for a reply hahah.

I've been on a few ships in the past that have had whoopsies, some man made and others thru gear failure.
The best one was coming into Bombay Port, been working offshore for 2 months, no beer or birds so the boys wanted to hit town real bad, turned out the Skipper was more desperate than us. We were all showered and spivved up leaning over the handrail approaching the wharf, about 100 meters out we were looking at one another thinking shit he's coming in a little fast, time go's by and we weren't slowing until crunch, metal against concrete, some bloody big rubber fenders get ripped of the edge of the wharf and fall into the drink. Ripped a few life boat supports and stuffed the hand rail we were leaning on.

Anyway to cut the story short the skipper paid for drinks and the whorehouse that night, next day the Flippo AB's were out scrapping paint and applying gallons of new paint. A shore based engineering company were contracted for a few days to sort out the life boats and hand rails before we could sail. Nice little extended stopover.

Now because he was wearing his hiviz he came to a safe and controlled stop..........a close up of the cab will reveal that his undies did not have such a good day!

Came across a accident yesty but turned off when I saw the firebrigade and cops it was on the main street.Went back to town later in the arvo and one wreck was there.

Looks like you turned up to take that photo when the undertakers where getting ready to put that one in the ground
