Admittedly not all the circumstances of this collision are known, but on the basis of what can be seen above, it looks as though the Master of the Hapag Lloyd vessel might have some explaining to do.

ETA Ships pass through the Suez Canal in convoys. I wonder if a wish to get a good place in the queue might have some bearing on it.
