Yes, the cause is always steering failure or some such. There was a time when new ships were reported to have a number of steering/engine faults, just to build up a history.
Anyway, I reckon that any vessel in such a narrow passage will have to be very carefully handled, especially in Ever Given's loaded condition - the sail area is enormous! A butterfly's wing flap would be enough to throw the ship off course.
