Why was this ship being steered so close to the support in the first place. Why wasn’t this ship being steered dead center between the two supports from the get go.

There was no reason for this ship to be piloted this close to the support when there was schit tons of room available.

This was intensional

It's hard to tell from the video, but the initial power failure occurred while the vessel was still a considerable distance from the bridge. If they had a little rudder on, that could have put their trajectory into the bridge.

And I'm sure, as reported, they also had to clear other vessel traffic prior to - means they're not dead nuts middle of the road.
