The etymology of the word says yes. But the circumstances says no.

Modern cargo ships have triple redundant systems for their steering, but each backup is dependent on electricity to run pumps that pressurize the hydraulics and activate the ship’s massive rudder. Additionally, they have three or four independent diesel generators to provide electricity and another above the main deck ready to automatically start in a blackout condition. However, it takes 30 to 60 seconds to start these generators and restore power to the ship. Without electrical power, both the engine and the steering system could be disabled, making it challenging to prevent a collision in critical moments.
