摘要：	The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) recently released its report into the March 16, 2021, allision between the tanker Bow Tribute and a fen-dering system protecting two intakes for New Orleans' freshwater supply. The Bow Tribute was downbound on the Lower Mississippi River when it veered toward the left descending bank near Mile 104 and struck the fendering system. No pollution was reported, and there were no injuries associated with the impact. The allision caused an estimated $986,400 in damages to the ship and $926,100 in damages to the fender system. At the time of the incident, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Carrollton gage was at 12.4 feet and rising, part of a brief high-water period last year. The river was moving at about 3.5 knots, and winds from the south-southwest were blowing at 15 knots, with gusts near 24 knots. The Bow Tribute had discharged cargo in Baton Rouge and was en route to the Alliance Anchorage near Mile 65 to take on gasoline. At the time of the incident, a pilot with the New Orleans-Baton Rouge Steamship Pilots Association (NOBRA) was on board, along with a vessel crew of 27 and a tugboat captain who knew and was observing the NOBRA pilot.
