There was some discussion about dirty fuel causing the ship that ran into the bridge to loose power.
When I bought my sail boat the Diesel fuel had sat in the tanks for years and was very dirty. I got a quote for cleaning the tanks which was very expensive. Plus they wanted to throw out the old fuel and I would have had to buy 250 gallons of new. I had to motor the boat against a head wind from Los Angeles to San Francisco and was not ready to just waste the fuel. So I bought a spare fuel pump and about 12 filters and changed them every few hours.
Large boats and ships are supposed to have duplicate sets of filters and pumps and pressure gauges to tell when a filter is getting clogged. If that was not done on the ship, then the crew is at fault.
