This has all been discussed , debated and speculated about in the main discussuion on Scuttlebtt http://www.ybw.com/forums/showthread.php?t=300433

Personally I cannot believe that the ship went between the two islets at le Scole south of the harbour but the trouble is there is a lack of detail in the AIS plot at the crucial time.
The position is plotted ar regular 4 minute intervals as the ship approached the island until 2037 hours then a gap in the data until 2053 by which time the ship was north of the harbour

You can zoom in on this http://marinetraffic.com/ais/default.aspx?oldmmsi=247158500&zoom=10&olddate=1/13/2012 9:02:00 PM and by hovering over the potted positions get the course speed and time.

Incidently I see that the Dutch are negotiating a contract to recover the ship for repair.
How they intend filling up a 160 ft gash so the ship can be refloated.
Lloyds reckon the incident will cost $750 million.
Should be interesting

Halfords do those fibreglassing kits, I'm sure a few of those would hold until they got it to dry dock!
