Case study - 1. Non-contact damage
Whilst proceeding inbound through a river approach to a major European port a 32,000 dwt container vessel passed a small chemical tanker which was alongside a riverside berth discharging her cargo.
The container vessel was proceeding at manoeuvring full ahead up until a position approximately one quarter of a mile from the moored tanker when the pilot ordered the engine to be slowed to half ahead. The tide was ebbing at about 1 ½ knots. It was daylight and the visibility was good.
As the container vessel started to get closer to the tanker the third mate, who was the OOW of the bridge, reported to the pilot that the mooring lines on the tanker seemed to be hanging loose. On verifying this through binoculars the pilot ordered the engine to be put to dead slow ahead. The estimated speed on passing the tanker was 5 knots through the water at a distance of about 150 metres. The 3rd mate and master of the container vessel continued to observe the tanker after it had been passed and saw the tanker surge along the berth, metallic noises were heard and a lot of activity could be seen on board.
The pilot was advised who called up theVTS station and reported the incident to them. An entry was made in the deck log book which was countersigned by the pilot. The following morning a lawyer presented himself on board with an arrest order against the ship. He claimed to be acting for the tanker who was alleging that the container vessel was proceeding at excessive speed, without taking due care and attention and, as a consequence, the wake of the vessel caused the tanker to surge along the quayside, breaking the mooring ropes, causing serious damage to the ship gangway, fracturing a discharging pipeline and causing a spillage of chemical cargo.
