According to the paper today, there was a communication problem between
the pilot and "crew." Not sure what it means yet.
Here's a decent vid of the damage...

One can see a heck of a strong current runnng through there. Also see how
she is straining at her anchor cable afterwards.A positioning error some
distance back along the approach route would leave a big ship rather short
of options for avoiding collision.
This is pretty common current speed for the area... the pilot had a lot of
experience, so I doubt that's the case, but you never know.
