I feel that in this situation a nearby tug boat could have diverted the ship (by at least kept it from straying from the shipping channel during power failure).

I think you're probably right. A tug (or two) hypothetically could've provided some emergency directional control.

When they reopen the port, it'll be interesting to see what early mitigations they put in place.
