材料:
The tug Vegesack was towing a barge engaged in“stone-fishing”in the vicinity of the Beach End buoy in Harwich Channel.Tug and tow were part of a dredging programme.During the dredging contract,the practice was for the dredging craft,Vegesack,to nominate the passing side for vessels.
The barge was difficult to control in tidal and traffic conditions,and the master needed to exercise considerable skill and anticipation,as well as having to liaise closely with VTS and passing vessels.The German master had been issued with a pilotage exemption certificate and had been operating in the channel for nearly two months before the incident.
The ferry Dana Anglia was outbound from Harwich in daylight and GOOD visibility.When she was close to North Shelf buoy,VTS called Vegesack and agreed that Vegesack,who was in the middle of the channel,would move to the north side.This would enable both Dana Anglia and Bencomo,an inbound vessel currently passing No5 buoy,to pass to the south.VTS gave this passing information to the two vessels.
While passing Platters buoy,Bencomo called Vegesack,requesting her to move to the north.Vegesack said she was going to move to the Harwich(or south)side,and instructed Bencomo to pass to the north.VTS then intervened and confirmed with Vegesack that she wanted both vessels to pass to the north.At this time,Dana Anglia was approaching North West Beach buoy and could see Vegesack heading south,in contravention to what she had been asked to do and had agreed.
Vegesack then started turning to the north.Dana Anglia sounded her whistle and put her engines to full astern.Vegesack then passed close down the starboard side of Dana Anglia.

材料:The 4,426gt Swedish vessel Skagern sailed for her next port,Strood,with a draught of 5.95m.The master soon realized,however,that he would not make the tide for berthing if he proceeded to the Medway as planned,to pick up the pilot at the North East Spit.He therefore decided to change the passage plan by shortening the distance and embarking his pilot at the Sunk light vessel.The officer on watch,2 O,was told to make the necessary adjustments and lay off the new courses.The 2 O made the original plan based on waypoints calculated and entered by another officer.These had been marked on the various charts and had already been entered into the GPS navigator.When he amended the passage plan he used the GPS to calculate a new course from a waypoint off Lowestoft direct to the Sunk pilot station.In doing so,he didn&39;t realize he had missed out a pre-programmed waypoint in the GPS for a position to the east of the East Shipwash buoy.He didn&39;t notice that his course line intersected the 5m depth contour to the west of the East Shipwash buoy.The master did not check the amended passage plan and Skagern continued with her passage.2 O came on watch again four hours before the vessel was due to arrive at the pilot station.One hour before arrival at the Sunk 2 O prepared to embark the pilot.He saw the North Shipwash buoy and passed about three cables to the east of it.Shortly afterwards he saw two more buoys ahead of him,the East Shipwash on his port bow and the North-West Shipwash on his starboard.It did not occur to him that anything might be wrong.Shortly afterwards,Skagern ran aground at a full speed of 14 knots.He had found the Shipwash Bank.
