Gosh. Any suggestions as to why?

Googling "Cyprus Cement Collision" gives a bunch of hits, one of which states this:
Cement carrier ship ‘Cyprus Cement’ collided with several boats in Levanger marina, Norway, on July 6. Three boats sunk while others were badly damaged after the crash. According to reports, the accident occurred due to a faulty propeller that caused maneuverability problems. No one was injured.
Another report attributes the accident to bow thruster failure, possibly the location of the 'faulty propeller'.
P.S. Not sure why this is headed 'Greek boat crash'. The accident happened in Norway, the freighter is Norwegian-owned and -run and was built in Romania. I suppose there may have been a bottle of ouzo somewhere on board.

(sorry pinched this comment from another thread)
the video should be used as concrete evidence when settling the insurance claims.
