Warning : We found Canadian Marine Accident records for 18702-90 (NIRJA (EX ERMIS)). 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 11 December 1993, the bulk carrier "NIRJA", carrying a partial load of steel, was attempting to berth at a slip in Hamilton Harbour, Ontario. While turning off the entrance to the slip in strong stern winds and with three tugs assisting, the "NIRJA" did not successfully negotiate the turn and struck the tanker "HAMILTON ENERGY" which was moored alongside the oil barge "PROVMAR TERMINAL I" at the entrance to the slip. There was no injury or pollution, but the wharf and the vessels involved sustained some damage.
The Board determined that the "NIRJA", while manoeuvring in strong wind conditions under the conduct of a pilot, did not successfully negotiate the turn into the slip and struck the "HAMILTON ENERGY" because the vessel was not stopped in the available distance. The fact that the tugs were not secured to the vessel, that the anchor was not deployed and that the performance of the pilot was probably less than optimal contributed to the accident.
