| 摘要： | Recently I read about a mooring bollard failure at a Mississippi shipyard that caused a collision between a drillship and cargo vessel that resulted in almost $5 million in damage to the ships and shipyard. The bollard broke away from the dock due to strong winds pushing on the tied-up vessel, which then drifted into the channel, hitting the cargo ship. There were no injuries or pollution issues, but the incident affected multiple insurance policies and caused huge headaches for the owners and management of the shipyard and vessels. The National Transportation Safety Board said there were several contributing factors that caused the bollard to snap at its base. Among them were age, corrosion, and modifications to allow for more lines. Additionally, there were other factors that could well have contributed, including the increasing size of commercial vessels and the absence of a regulatory bollard inspection regime. Each of these on its own would not necessarily trigger alarm bells but collectively could have caused a significant mishap. |
