Could have very easily been a mechanical failure. There are plenty of examples of cargo ships like that losing engines, losing steering, etc.

The watch officer apparently admitted that he fell asleep. I find it astonishing that such giant ships don't have an autopilot that can at least stop the ship before it crashes into land. Or a dead man's switch which would wake up the watch man or someone else.

It's more astonishing to read in the article that this is the second time this ship has run aground in the past 3 years.

I'd expect some kind of alarm if that happens, but I would be wholly unsurprised if they saved money by omitting it.
