Slightly moot point, as the damage has been done, but did the ship run into trouble because of a breach in the hull? Or because of a shift in its cargo load?

When the boat turned turtle, was there any gash in the hull? I haven't seen any pics to confirm this.

It was a ferry, carrying something like 150 vehicles. Would a ferry ever turn quickly enough to unsettle those vehicles (like that cargo jet flying out of Baghram) causing the ship to list enough to start taking on water?
