One post said that the ship was cutting off other ships, so possibly some reckless sailing as well.

It's cutting off other ships because when it lost power it drifted sideways and blocked the canal. It's now stuck in both embankments and the only vessels getting past are very flat submarines.

GP is referencing a comment on Instagram [0] that states that it cut off another ship enter the channel /before/ it grounded:

> @tjcsalisbury Yepp! And I believe they cut us off this morning entering the canal and then this happened and right after they ran aground the ship behind us lost power and almost hit us so it’s been a fun day lol but now we are just anchored here hopefully it won’t be to long but from the looks of it that ship is super stuck they had a bunch of tugs trying to pull and push it earlier but it was going nowhere there is a little excavator trying to dig out the bow

...which is interesting. Two unrelated ships lost power at the same location on the same day? Curious.
