The article says it lost power, but the photo shows a wind powered vessel with sails.
Some kind of hybrid ship?

Some kind of hybrid ship?
Operating a large, wind-powered vessel in a harbor or near shore is very tricky and dangerous (what if the wind suddenly doesn't provide enough propulsion to counteract some water current? what if it suddenly changes direction? breaking is also very tricky) which is why it's not done, and some auxiliary engine provides propulsion.
