Warning : We found Canadian Marine Accident records for 12256-82F (YPAPADI). This ship has been
recorded in the Canadian Marine Occurrence database as having been in an incident. Below are the details of the Vessel, weather condition, damage incurred and other accident details such as the date: On the afternoon of 06 December 1996, the "YPAPADI" arrived off the port of Gaspé, Quebec. Although pilotage is not compulsory in the port, the vessel owners had instructed the agents in Montreal to provide the vessel with a pilot upon arrival at the harbour entrance. The sub-agent in Gaspé was not successful in securing the services of an individual with previous pilotage experience, and a representative of the sub-agent boarded the "YPAPADI" to assist the master in his approach to the berth. A lack of communication between this person and the master led each to believe that the other had the conduct of the vessel. In the approach to the berth, at a position where a large course alteration was required, neither gave the appropriate order to the quartermaster, and the vessel grounded on the north side of the harbour. The "YPAPADI" was refloated one week later. There was no damage to the vessel and no pollution.
The Board determined that the "YPAPADI" grounded because a misunderstanding over who had conduct of the vessel led to a critical course alteration not being made. The master thought he had delegated the conduct of the vessel to the representative of the sub-agent, who had boarded at the pilot station and whom he had reason to believe was a competent pilot. This person did not make it clear that he was not a competent pilot. Contributing factors were: the vessel's agents did not advise the master they had not secured the services of a pilot, the conduct of the vessel was handed over in an informal manner, neither the master nor the officer of the watch closely monitored the vessel's progress, and the master did not take over the conduct when the critical course alteration was not executed.
