Marine accident report - grounding of the Panamanian tankship GRAND EAGLE in the Delaware River near Marcus Hook, Pennsylvania, September 28, 1985
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5600922
The National Transportation Safety Board determined that the probable cause of the grounding of the Panamanian tankship GRAND EAGLE was the loss of steerageway in a restricted channel when the main engine failed to start after the inadequately supported main diesel control-air tubing fractured due to vibration fatigue. Contributing to the grounding was the lack of an adequate control-air, low-pressure alarm which would have alerted the engineers of a critical drop in control-air pressure and the failure of the engineers to immediately notify the master of their inability to start the main engine.
