    (1) The title sequence in the video should read “LNG” not “LPG.” [Correction: it was right to begin with. LPG carrier.]]
    (2) As noted in the video description, the audio is from the bridge of Genesis River. The video, however, is from Voyager.

      "Genesis River" is an LPG , not LNG tanker, according to IHS. Also, the terminals she visited in the past were LPG terminals. Also, an LNG tanker of the same size would look rather different from this one, due to differences in cargo tank design.

      @@WhatYouHaventSeen I have been on the Houston Ship Canal several times, the first carrying a cargo of butane (LPG) to New Warren Terminal and I understand from the deck officers that the pilots on our ship handled the passage well.
      The NTSB were probably correct in calling it a "liquified gas carrier" rather than LPG, because liquid gases other than butane and propane were sometimes carried.
      The nastiest cargo that I remember was ammonia, and the gas freeing operations after carrying that flooded the accommodation cabins causing a great deal of distress to all. I much preferred dry bulk carriers!

    To those confused: Basically what happened was that Genesis River was fish-tailing due to poor design and having just passed another vessel. They were effectively out of control and trying to regain "check up". The barge was obeying requests by Genesis River to try and get out of the way but to no avail. Its confusing because the audio is from Genesis River but the video is from Voyager.

    Pilot 2 tried to pass the blame to the helmsmen on the rudder, but in my opinion the entire accident was 100% Pilot 2's fault. He was very wishy-washy and indecisive in his commands. "Rudder midship, rudder port, rudder midship, rudder starboard, rudder ...aww hell I don't really know where I want the rudder. Then asking the Voyager to cross to the other side on the channel because you lost control of your ship, knowing full well the ship responds slow but will eventually be turning directly into where you are telling the Voyager to go. Had he left them on the Red side of the channel and simply ordered full astern on the engines for a couple on minutes, they probably would not have hit.
    Then in his statement he said, "I did not get the RPM's... that I asked for." Hey brainstorm, did you ever think, maybe you got yourself into a bad situation and were wanting the ship to perform outside it's capabilities? Maybe that was all the RPM's the ship could muster. Just because you got yourself into a shit-storm, don't blame the ship because the ship didn't respond like a speed boat to get you out of the situation that you caused.

    • @KB4QAA
      @KB4QAA 3 роки тому +3

      The other major factor in this incident is that both the Pilot and Chief Officer forgot that power plant was in 'ocean cruise mode" with severely limited ability to respond to speed changes. The engine should have been placed back in 'Manuevering" mode when opposing traffic first appeared. It is unclear to me if BOTH rudder steering pumps were engaged during the entire transit. This would yield faster response to helm commands.

      @theblackbear211 3 роки тому +2

      I'm a Licensed Chief Engineer, I'm with you. Yeah, engaging the "Seaspeed" program was a huge mistake.
      First off - you are not going to get any rapid throttle increases - because you are already near maximum RPM and load on the engine.
      Even when the engineers dialed up more RPM -
      it is very likely that the pilots "Hard Over" rudder commands - triggered the load limiter on the engine - preventing any increase in RPM.
      The only way to override that would have been the "Emergency" button on the console -
      but the most likely result of doing that, is damaging the engine without gaining anything.
      The pilot had a vessel that he knew had a sluggish throttle response, headed down the channel at full speed.
      No real way to speed up, and no way at all to stop.
      Even going to "Emergency Reverse" would result in a backing bell until the engine stops - and at 12 knots the Propeller will windmill the engine.
      It takes minutes, not seconds.
      He painted himself into a corner, and when things went wrong he didn't have any good options.

      @@stevengibson2251 In my own opinion, The pilot bears the lions share of blame here.
      He knows that the ship takes a lot of rudder to respond, but he's coming down channel at what is for all intents and purposes the ship's maximum speed -
      sure it gives him a little extra rudder command - but it also increases the bottom and bank effects that he is trying to avoid. Which means that as soon as anything goes wrong - he doesn't have any good options.
      He can't (effectively) speed up, and he's going too fast to stop.
      None of the handling factors with either the ship or the channel were unknowns or even uncommon. It's an every day challenge - that is why he is legally required to be there.
      I'd say he got a little complacent - you have to anticipate (a lot) to stay ahead of what the vessel is likely to do - once you are in a reactive situation, it is exceedingly difficult to recover.
      Personally, as the Chief Engineer - I would definitely have been on the alert for trouble as soon as they called for sea speed when I knew they were still that far up the channel, I would never have stepped away from the engine room throttles in that scenario.

    I am a 200 ton Master. I was really studying this very detailed report and enjoying doing so until I read that the pilot was trying to blame the ASand OS. This infuriated me as this is so common of spineless persons in high positions. Blame it on the underling! Spineless. If the OS was really that lacking he should have immediately ordered the AS back on the helm. And the AS was observing that the OS WAS answering commands correctly and only took over because it was an emergency. I spent many hundreds of hours on the helm of large military ships. When you have done it as much as the OS had done it comes pretty automatically. It is a critical job but not a complex one. Also the pilots helm orders were all over the place!

      Later he tried to defend his fleeing by saying that abandon ship means everybody abandon ship and that if people wanted to stay on board that was their choice.

      As a Marine Chief Engineer, I concur with your assessment.
      Once the Sea Speed program was engaged, he did not have the option of increasing speed in any practical sense.
      Maneuvering speed is just that - coming down channel at 12 knots, when he already knows that the vessel has a sluggish helm response
      didn't really leave himself with options - he can neither speed up, nor slow down quickly, stopping will take minutes.
      I have to admit, that I am left slightly curious as to why a "well rested" individual needs to drink a "5-hour energy drink" before stepping into a situation
      that needs careful judgement and calm assessment.
      I'll add one more detail, that just occurred to me - since it wasn't addressed in the report.
      One additional reason that the main engine may not have accelerated - even a limited amount, is because large rudder angles increase the engine load significantly -
      so since there were on the Sea Speed program - the rudder angles may have triggered the engine load limiter, thus overriding anything but an "Emergency" command.
      Just one more reason not to maneuver above "maneuvering speed".

    The accident investigation concluded that the Genesis pilot lost control through a combination of high speed and hydrodynamic effects caused by passing an earlier ship and the closeness of the bottom and the bank. The Genesis was turning to port which is why the Voyager turned to port too but then the Genesis likely touched bottom and that sharply turned it starboard and into the barges.

I think you'll find that the time it takes for the prop shaft to change from forward to reverse is, if I read and remember correctly, somewhere around 7-8 MINUTES. I'm pretty sure this is why we hear someone in the video start to order reverse, then cancel. Collision was going to happen well before reverse could actually take effect.

    Reading through the comments it's funny watching people talk about what happened and the design of the ship and how the ship hit bottom who have never been on the HSC and never piloted a vessel. I've been a pilot on the Houston ship channel for thirteen years. I've come in and out of Bayport flare a thousand times. There's a huge entrance into Bayport flare. Though coming inbound from the south of Houston ship channel and coming outbound from the north of the ship channel at Bayport is a bit narrow and then there is a pretty good bend if you will or turn that you're going to make outbound and inbound right at the Bayport flare. Tows slide, boats slide, and ships slide while making this turn. We also do a maneuver here in Texas called the Texas chicken where two ships or two tows will point almost directly at each other and then break away upon meeting and after passing will return to their respected positions in the middle of the ship channel which is 50-55 feet deep. Even at the Bayport flare it's still very deep. The ship slid into the barges after trying to meet another ship and his sideways slide was obviously more than he anticipated.
    I've had this happen many times. I've had ships slide past me literally 30 feet off of my vessel at the bend at Morgan's point. Just a week ago the wind was blowing 50 mph and passing Baytown highlines a ship was sliding towards my port and being "set" to my port by the high winds. We passed each other by maybe 50 feet which is way too close for comfort, but we made it and laughed a little.

      I have operated a small boat and if you have little forward speed your rudder has little effect.Full speed gives you a quicker response to turn.Ships of this size take eons to manoeuvre rapidly .I think they gave it full power for that reason until impact was imminent and at that point the slower they went the less momentum left in the ship when they came together.

      that tanker ship takes 3 and a half minutes to stop it's engine ,and another 2 to get it running backwards (the propeller is directly connected to the engine!)
      he was trying to build some speed (like the other commenter said) so he could use his rudder more efficiently ,but it was too late since he actually touched the bottom of the river and then it was "all over the place" ,but he did turn at the last minute to hit the barge and not the tow boat to avoid killing people.

I realize there's a lot of open water in between the location of the collision and the land to the west where the Bayport Channel originates, but I was just thinking there might have been more water flowing out through the Bayport Channel due to all the rain that had recently fallen.

The pilot had already recognized that tiller changes were not immediately felt and yet he later claims this failing is the fault of the IS at the helm.

      yes most of the time (and always in open water) extra speed gives better steering control.....in this case moving faster than steerage speed causes the bow wave to be reflected back underwater from the shallow sides of the channel due to that extra speed and started pushing the vessel in directions that the helmsman hadn't steered them in......in this situation extra knots causes a loss of steering control when the underwater profile changes like at a corner etc

    What is the root cause of the accident? It wasn’t in the report as an executive summary as we used to call them. When the Genesis realized he was going to hit the barge, why didn’t he reverse engines and tell the Tug to do the same at the same time. It seems that the Genesis knew there would be a collision but didn’t want to hit the Tug but instead hit the barge, to avoid injury or worse to crew. That’s fine, but why not get both ships stopped or at least slowed as much as possible? To minimize the extent of damage. Since the tug was going slow, I wondered what did the tug captain think of, instead of following the orders from the Genesis, his ship with barges responded readily, it seems. Heck go in reverse full. He was going slow to begin with relative to the Genesis speed.

    • @theblackbear211
      @theblackbear211 3 роки тому +2

      Marine Chief Engineer here - if you look at the details in the report, the Genesis uses a direct reversing engine - coupled directly to a fixed pitch propeller.
      What this means- is that before you can reverse the engine, it has to come to a complete stop - and at 12 knots, the propeller is going to windmill the engine...
      after you have stopped, then, and only then, can the engine start running in reverse.
      That takes minutes, not seconds.
      In the mean time, you reduce what little rudder control that you have.
      As for the tug - he's already down to 4mph, with the tide pushing him - he can reverse, but he's really just a sitting duck by that point.
      In My Opinion, it was a mistake to bring the the Genesis' engine up on the "Full Sea Speed" program -
      because that effectively overrides the engine order telegraph commands, unless you hit the emergency control on the telegraph.
      So the pilot had a ship that he already knows has poor rudder control coming down channel above it's normal maneuvering speed.
      Meaning he can't readily get more power if he needs it, and there is no way in the world to stop the vessel in any reasonable distance or time.
      Once he got out of shape his only option was trying choose what he was going to hit.

  • @fredmercury1314

    I see what happened here. The ship we're on is over to the right of the marked channel, the oncoming ship is on the same side of the channel.
    The ship we're on is trying to move over to the other (left) side and at 1:27 the pilot on the oncoming ship tells his wheelman to go hard right (probably to stay between the channel markers not to avoid the other ship) which then points them directly at the camera ship.
    I guess the pilot underestimated how much steering authority the ship actually had because there was surely no need to go that hard to the right?

      The video is from Voyager. The audio is from Genesis River.

    It seems so strange to me that as big and vast as the ocean is how one ship can collide with another. I know that there are zones that they travel in, but wow.

      These two ships were in a water way channel.

      This happened in the Houston ship channel and it isn’t very wide when next to a over taking ship, but I agree the tug could’ve turned out of the channel entirely and out into the flats and take a chance of running aground instead of being t-boned by a ship.
      And the water is very shallow on both sides of the channel but offshore yes I agree with you

    Why did Genesis turn hard into the collision?

      To avoid hitting the Push/Tow/Tug boat directly since souls were on board.
      "Better to hit the trailer than the car/tractor/truck."
      "Better to crash(fly) into farmland than any structure."

      The genesis got caught by hydrodynamic crap or something. Basically it just met an inbound unit on the 1, he’s was going a bit faster than normal. Onve ships meet they use the suction of the meeting shit to counter steer and get pulled back to the middle of the channel. The genesis was meeting another unit in a turn at bayport , counter steered to much and created a dive, tried to correct it but by time the first dive was started it was too late. The voyager had arrangements to go the greens and meet on the 2, when the ship bounced off the red side the voyager was a sitting duck in the way of a 12knot giant while he was making 4-5 mph with double loads.

    Im not sure what happened he just came out of no where. Its amazing that objects that are the size of skyscraper buildings can collide when they are moving at 30 knots tops and can see each other for miles before getting to a point where collision is unavoidable.

      that particular ship takes 3 and a half minutes to stop it's engine ,and another 2 to get it running backwards (the propeller is directly connected to the engine!)

    It seems clear that the majority of the fault lies with the channel pilots. I wonder whose insurance paid for all the damage. It should be the Port of Houston or the State of Texas.

      it takes over a mile for that ship to even stop at that speed at full reverse. it's in the report.
