Worth noting: The MV Dali is a 1000-foot-long ship, weighing 50% more than a nuclear aircraft carrier, with a total crew of twenty-two.
That's everybody - captain, bridge crew, deck crew, cook, etc.
So - how many of those 22 will be your engineering crew? How many of those engineers would be on duty, when this incident happened? And once things start going wrong, and you're sending engineers off to "check why Pump #83, down on Deck H, shows as off-line" or whatever - how many people do you have left in the big, complex engineering control room - trying to figure out what's wrong and fix it, as multiple systems fail, in the maybe 3 1/2 minutes between the first failure and when collision becomes inevitable?
