according to the link "the digital chart the crew was using to navigate the ship incorrectly listed the reef's location by 8 miles". He might be cleared.

Almost all cases where a captain is relieved, it's because either he, or someone under his command made a mistake or poor judgment call. Under those conditions the relief from command would be appropriate.

In this case since the chart was at fault, he may get another command. I'll also point out that the coral reef so apparent from the aerial shot may not have been visible from the bridge of the ship.
