Ouzo/Bilbao case was very different. The Officer On Watch saw the yacht and just steamed on without checking that the Ouzo was OK. Three yachtsmen were killed. There was a manslaughter charge made against the OOW but the jury couldn't agree whether it was the Bilbao that hit the Ouzo or another ship known to have been in the vicinity. Had the jury agreed it was the Bilbao the OOW would have undoubtedly been imprisoned.
