This engineer describes the Steering system and the Emergency Diesel Generator setup on his ship and what should happen in the event that the ship should lose power.

Granted this isn’t the Dali but it is typical of setup .

Dali size containership steering system. How it’s designed to not hit Francis Scott key bridge

I am beginning to suspect that the Dali’s Emergency Diesels never successfully lit off.

emergency rudder system takes 30 seconds to fire up. The Baltimore ship looks like it lost power inside the 30 second window based on the video. What’s weird is that the ship looked out of position as it aimed towards the channel, too narrow a path and thus no time to recover ?
