human error, no way around it. The engine room crew screwed the pooch on this one.

Could be a failed sensor or two.

She started to rock and the oil sloshed away from the sensors so the engines shut down to protect themselves.
Should have had an override.

They had oil, but what they didn’t have was a ship that could handle the oil properly in serious turbulence.

How can that happen accidentally?
The Viking Sky was built in 2013. Its engines are made by MAN, one of the best Diesel engine manufacturers in the world.
Engines of that scale are heavily instrumented and computerized. A low oil situation on any part of the engine triggers multiple alarms that show up on computer screens, as flashing lights, and as buzzers and beepers.
It has multiple engines configured as Diesel electric generators; its main motors are powered by electric motors, power for which can be taken from any of its multiple redundant electrical supplies.
It’s inconceivable that all its engines could fail from lack of oil in such a way that the ship would be without propulsion and adrift at sea.

Maybe the dip stick was so heavy there weren't enough men to check the oil?

I lost a pressure washer because of that.
No one was inconvenienced but me.

Engines likely equipped with low oil level sensors and the giant waves caused faulty readings which shut down the engines. I would think there would be a way to over ride or wire out the sensors.
OOPs!

I’m curious what her mechanical crew are. I’m betting Norwegian officers, but in propulsion dept?

Would think there’d be plenty of oil to spare in the kitchen, although these cruises might have less of the heavier safflower and corn oils, and more of the lightest extra extra light virgin oil.

This Golden ShellBack calls BS. I was also a snipe when I wasnt instigating shenanigans.
The mains can be filled with copious amounts of lube oil at the turn of a valve, more like the push of a button, to maintain proper operating levels. You know, in case you might run into bad weather or something and find yourself floundering into the rocks.
