They're just leaving port, anyone want to bet, Captain and Chief Mate drunk and asleep, minor crew member in charge of ship?!?!
Apparently black box from ship has just been retrieved.
I would have thought the ship required a pilot on board until it had left the harbour?
Thats how it works here as far as im aware.
Yes the black box has been retrieved, no doubt there was a mechanical issue, appears to be with the steering in this case, but will wait and see, apparently we will know the findings very soon.
