These kind of things (black out) occur. Happened to me twice both because of blownout turbocharger. Once right after the exit lock at Antwerp the other is out bound river passenge from Bordeaux. First one we dropped anchors immediately and nothing serious happened at Bordeaux yet again swiftly dropped anchor but alas tidal stream carried us and smack the vessel right on the bank of the river we're luck local pilot direct the ship to sandy banks rather than rough bottom after high tide we grounded there for 6 hours discharged ballast and freed with the next tide. The thing with Dali is wrong place wrong time. Que sera sera.
