Unfallhergang
BearbeitenDie Gründe für die Kenterung wären interessant, vgl. mit dem NTSB-Report:
- "the pilot gave rudder orders to the helmsman to turn the vessel to starboard. As the vessel turned to starboard, it began to heel quickly to port. The pilot and the vessel’s master began rapidly issuing rudder commands in an attempt to counter the heeling. However, the Golden Ray continued to heel over, the rate of turn to starboard increased, and the vessel heeled to port to about 60° in less than a minute. Water entered deck 5 through the vessel’s open portside pilot door and flooded through open watertight doors to the engine and steering gear rooms. The vessel eventually settled on its port side at an angle of 90°."
- "The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of the capsizing of the Golden Ray was the chief officer’s error entering ballast quantities into the stability calculation program, which led to his incorrect determination of the vessel’s stability and resulted in the Golden Ray having an insufficient righting arm to counteract the forces developed during a turn while transiting outbound from the Port of Brunswick through St. Simons Sound."
