This is a link post Whoops-a-daisy
I love the inevitability of this, like a naval zombie attack.

This is a normal post Was the throttle jammed open?
Same incident, different POV, drum and bass bed:

Edit: Apparently it was insufficient ballast which meant the propeller was too far above to water to allow it to manoeuvre effectively.

and greatly soiled, i'd imagine

This is a normal post just watching the crane fold!
The wonders of triangulation in structures. It'll pick up however many tonnes inside shipping containers, but hit it in the right place and you get a pancake.

This is a normal post yep. even a hurricane is going to have a windshear of around 10 or 20 kN on the hollow crane at a rough estimate
a 20000 tonne ship (which is small for a container ship) even at super slow speeds is going to have a point impact of 20000 kN and upwards. hard to design for that unless you've got some magical rubber-like substance.
my uncle was the engineer on ( in the mid 80s) the worlds biggest bulk carrier, they had a fucked autonav system (designed by Decca of record fame) that worked fine at sea but in port piloted them into a collision with the quay a couple of times, to spectacular effect
