Container ship damage at port (left) side of bow. Fitz damage starboard 40% back from the bow.

Looks like the Fitz did not see the container ship and ran across its right-of-way.

The container ship had the right of way, absent that, the Fitz being smaller and the more maneuverable of the two vessels should have stayed well clear of the other ship. Fitz is not going to fare well in the accident investigation.
