I don’t know the story on that one but there’s a good chance that they beached the tanker intentionally to keep it from sinking.

Rules and shit

I just read a little bit about it. I didn't see anything to indicate that they intentionally beached it. They threw out a second anchor and it didn't do any good. There were about 50 ships anchored in the area when the storm advisory was issued. All but nine of the ships pulled anchor and beat cheeks out of the storm's path. This ship was one of the nine that didn't heed the advisory.

They were empty and had almost zero ballast. As a result, it was riding very high in the water. There was significant prop and rudder surface area out of the water, so they had very little effective propulsion or steering.
