1981 Kolliderte 06/05 med en av Staten Island ferjene på New
Yorks havn.
New York Times January 13, 1982:
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Excessive speed and human error were
to blame for a collision between a freighter and a Staten Island
ferryboat carrying 2,400 people across fog-shrouded New York
harbor, the National Transportation Safety Board said.
The collision occurred May 6, 1981, when the Höegh Orchid, a
600-foot Norwegian cargo vessel, collided with the American
Legion. Seventy-one ferry passengers were injured and
damage was estimated at $500,000.
The board said the cause of the accident was the excessive
speed of the Höegh Orchid in dense fog and the failure of the
master of the American Legion and the pilot of the Höegh
Orchid to evaluate properly the information displayed on their
radar scopes.
The failure of the pilot of the Höegh Orchid to establish radio
communication with the American Legion also contributed to
the
accident, the board said.
