Unfortunately was already time something to happen, and these fast-ferries between Spain and Morocco to stop crossing bows of all vessels only few cables and to do it whatever they likes! Not all the time speed will help them  ;)!

In theory if the ferry was northbound it would have 'right of way' and the NEW GLORY should have passed it's stern. however if it was southbound the bulker wold have had right of way.
