It's a management company. International vessels are required to have two independent sources of power, both of which must be capable of maintaining seaworthiness. The video shows the power going off, coming back on, then going off again. Both power sources appear to have failed, which makes me wonder about when the ship last had a thorough inspection of it's critical systems.

The stern of the ship appears to swing wildly to the right prior to the collapse, so it must have struck the support column with the starboard side of it's bow. The column didn't immediately give out. Looks to my eye like the ship was well off course prior to losing power.
