It appears the ship had electrical issues, making the crash not the fault of the harbor pilot. Of course, that is speculation at this point.
The Army Corps of Engineers will 100% be involved in this, though this will involve many different agencies and contractors. As for liability, that will all depend on the NTSB investigation. It's hard to say where it will lie. Could be the ship owners, if something failed it could be the company that made that, hard to see how it all shakes out. I see insurance companies from multiple sides litigating this issue for the next few years to determine who is paying what. I do agree that based on preliminary information, though, it appears that the harbor pilot was not at fault.
