Cruise ship route BANNED following Royal Caribbean ship crash in port

Traffic Accident Investigation Commission (TAIC) released a statement that revealed the confusion between the pilot and the master.

The first turn of the ship was taken too late which caused the crash.

TAIC lead investigator Tim Burfoot told Stuff.co.nz that pilots but now use a simulator when praising the Tory Channel turn, the route that the ships often take.

The report reads: “With no agreed plan, the task of the bridge team monitoring the ship’s progress through the turn was set up to fail,” the report said.

“This accident highlights the importance of a comprehensive pilot/master exchange of information and ensuring it is communicated to the rest of the bridge team.”
