Question

Why do you think that the modern ships having a sophisticated satellite navigators can run a ground?

Answer 1

If you are thinking of M S Nordkapp in Antarctica last week it was slowly coming out of a bay (protected from the wind) through a very narrow opening and was hit by force 7 gale which blew it sideways.

Been though this gap myself and it is VERY narrow.  OK going in as they can go in fast, but cannot get speed up coming out!

Answer 2

Idiots at the wheel, unexpectedly high wind, loss of engine, fraudulant insurance claims.
