A coastal freighter and a fishing vessel crashed off of Norway. But here’s the scary part: The navigators on both vessels had working EYES & WINDOWS to look out from in BROAD DAYLIGHT with GOOD VISIBILITY. But the NSIA (Norway’s NTSB) report is emphasizing the failure of the fishing vessel to use …

From the NSIA report: NOTE: NSIA does NOT alot blame, but try to define root cause of accidents and “lessons to be learnt”. In this case they concluded that overreliance on electronic equipment and “lack of traditional lookout” was root cause. That Tornado did not transmit AIS “was understandabl…

A Norwegian comment on this incident: [image] Reketråleren Tornado: Brukte ikke AIS - Havarikommisjonen skylder på lasteskipet Kollisjonen mellom det 118 meter lange lasteskipet MS Edmy og fiskefartøyet MS Tornado i Langesundsbukta førte til strukturelle skader både over og under vannlin…

Comments from Norwegian forum NSF today: Nordrott said: I think it would be wrong to focus only on the cargo ship’s role in the accident, however serious it is. Surely you are not exempt from following the navigation even if you are trawling? There is also no doubt that using AIS is cheap insura…

[image] ombugge: Nordrott said: Had there been bad weather and/or poor visibility, the collision could have occurred even with satisfactory watchkeeping. What about rule 6 safe speed? Rule 2 responsibility? A competent mariner would never have let this happen.

These were competent mariners. Nonetheless shit happens.

[image] boatlover: A competent mariner would never have let this happen. I don’t know the qualification of the navigator on watch on the MV Edmy, nor the Skipper on the fishing vessel Tornado. But even if they had the highest degree of education and years of experience they made mistake here…
