Timeline
6 a.m. - Bar pilot Capt. John Cota boards Cosco Busan at berth 55, Oakland Inner Harbor. He decides fog is too thick and waits for it to lift.
About 7:30 - Cota notifies Coast Guard Vessel Traffic Service that fog has lifted and he intends to sail. He tells vessel traffic he intends to use the Delta-Echo span of the Bay Bridge. The ship is assisted by the tug Revolution.
7:30 to 8:20 - The ship's radar failed, says Cota, who decides to rely on an electronic chart. He asks ship's captain to point to center of the D-E span on the electronic chart. Cota gives course and speed for that point.
