摘要：	An electrical generator set (genset) failure and subsequent loss of steering led to the grounding of a towing vessel near Greenville, Miss., a year ago, the National Transportation Safety Board said in a report released November 17. The towing vessel Marquette Warrior was pushing 35 loaded dry cargo barges down the Lower Mississippi River on November 21, 2021, when several barges grounded on the riverbank at Mile 538. Four barges were damaged, including a hopper barge with soybean cargo that partially sank. None of the nine people on board the Marquette Warrior were injured. The grounding resulted in $1.24 million in damages to the vessel, barges and cargo. As the vessel was transiting, the engineer saw flickering lights and a ground fault indication on the main switchboard. The engineer contacted the pilot in the wheelhouse to request the pilot stop the vessel so he could troubleshoot what he suspected was a problem with the electrical system. The pilot was not able to stop the vessel due to the size of the tow and its location.
