This report discusses the July 18, 2014, accident in which a downbound tow on the Mississippi River collided with a revetment project barge plant. No one was injured in the accident; however, the damage totaled about $300,000. The report identifies the following safety issues: incomplete information to mariners about waterway obstructions, and the need for expanded use of automatic identification system features to mark waterway obstructions. As a result of this investigation, the National Transportation Safety Board makes new safety recommendations to the US Army Corps of Engineers. |
