The boat turned off without being told to turn off. With dual generators, and dual auxiliary backups, they lost power to the whole boat. That’s not including the main 55k hp engine. Bad fuel can take out an engine, not 5 of them running from different tanks all at once.
This guy is more knowledgeable that everyone in this thread, and speaks to experts about a lot of it. I don’t know shit.
From the sounds of it, even when electrical power is restored, that doesn’t give thrust control. Also, without thrust control the rudder doesn’t do much. Don’t just assume you know something.
They don’t need the main engine to use the bow thruster, any one of the backup generators is enough to power it. Even if they were moving too slow for the rudder to give steerage.
