From info that I have read, here and elsewhere, the Dali seemed to have enough troubles, that I would not have ventured to the bridge passage, given the vessel performance and crosswind condition.

But, some upper master in the chain of command, probably has the skill to convince the ship’s onboard master, to proceed.

I guess a ship captain is stuck, given that there does not seem to be a Nautical Notice to Heavy Vessel Masters, that establishes a table of crosswind condtions and bridge approaches. (But I keep looking.)

The video of the collision is a perfect explanation/demonstration on Newton’s Laws.
