Maybe this boat had a port qualified pilot on board and he called for 4 tugs (RIBs) but, the pilot either got tired of waiting or the additional tugs were busy on another project.

If this be true and the pilot made the decision not to wait for the additional tugs, it is still the responsibility of the captain!! Again, assuming there was a pilot on board, I wonder if he kept his license?

Too bad there was no video on how the boat got sideways.
Alas, we will never know the conclusions of the inquest.
