NEW YORK, Nov 15 (Reuters) - The tanker involved in last week’s ship collision with a luxury paddle-wheeler docked in New Orleans had a “steering casualty,” an official with the National Transportation Safety Board said on Sunday.

NTSB officials said they do not yet know what caused the failure of steering on the Atlantic Asphalt tanker.
