I suppose that a pilot was onboard the tanker, just unberthed from an oil terminal. How is it possible that it happened a so bad collision with the tanker ramming the frigate at 7 knots?

From BBC ..apparently the frigate was warned it was sailing into danger but did not react.

I noted the tug reporting that he couldn't see lights on the frigate and no AIS, only radar image.
