| 摘要： | Pilot error was responsible for an incident occurring March 19, 2021, in which a tow pushed by the towing vessel mv. Kevin Michael struck part of the lock chamber guide wall of the Melvin Price Lock and Dam in Alton, Ill., the National Transportation Safety Board found. On that date, the mv. Kevin Michael was transiting downriver on the Mississippi River with a crew of nine pushing a 15-barge tow when the tow struck the bullnose of the upstream main lock chamber guide wall at 11:38 a.m. The contact caused the tow to break apart. Eight barges drifted into the forebay area north of dam gates 1 and 2, with one barge entering the open main lock chamber. Seven barges drifted into dam gates 3-9. Following the barge breakaway, the lock was closed to traffic. Nearby towing vessels rounded up the barges. The lock reopened the next day, March 20, at 7:50 p.m.. The lock closure delayed seven southbound and three northbound tows. Six barges incurred some damage, but the Kevin Michael was not damaged. |
