| 摘要： | This report discusses the May 10, 2019, collision of the 754-foot-long liquefied gascarrier Genesis River with a 297-foot-long tank barge being pushed ahead by the 69-foot-longtowing vessel Voyager on the Houston Ship Channel in Upper Galveston Bay. Immediately afterthe outbound Genesis River had passed an inbound liquefied gas carrier of similar size at thesouthern end of the Bayport Flare, it approached the channel’s west bank, sheered to port, andcrossed over to the opposite side of the channel where, in the barge lane ahead, the Voyager waspushing two tank barges breasted together side by side. In the ensuing collision, two cargo tanksin the starboard barge were breached, spilling over 11,000 barrels of petrochemical cargo into thewaterway, and the port barge capsized. No injuries were reported. Safety issues identified in thisreport include the challenges of navigating large vessels in the Bayport Flare area of the HoustonShip Channel and vessel speed while transiting in a narrow channel. As part of its accidentinvestigation, the National Transportation Safety Board makes four new safety recommendationsto K-Line Energy Ship Management and the Houston Pilots, and reiterates two recommendationsto the US Coast Guard. |
