Thanks for posting that information about back-up electrical generators. Good idea that such generators are located above the waterline.

Well, it's evident from photos that the on-deck lighting was fully powered after the ship had grounded on the harbour point. And since the bow thrusters were needed to turn the ship around 180 degrees, they most have been powered as well. Don't know if the pumps were powered.

Sounds like the engine room was flooded almost immediately after the initial impact.
