Warning : We found Canadian Marine Accident records for 814370 (JADE STAR). 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 24 April 1994, the Canadian oil tanker "JADE STAR" departed the Ultramar Canada port facilities at Saint-Romuald, Quebec, bound for Montreal, Quebec, with a full load of gasoline and diesel oil.
Off Sainte-Croix, the bulk carrier "BAMIA" was about to overtake the "JADE STAR" when a series of audible alarms was triggered and indicator lights came on both on the bridge and in the engine-room of the "JADE STAR". As soon as the alarms went off on the bridge, the pitch of the propeller was reduced to zero. The "JADE STAR" yawed to port, cut across the track of the "BAMIA", then ran aground on the southern edge of the channel.
The Board determined that the rupture of a cover retaining pin in one of the fuel filters of the No. 2 generator caused an electrical problem. Believing a black-out to have occurred, the officer of the watch set the propeller pitch to zero; he did not attempt steering, and the vessel sheered out of the channel and grounded. The crew of the "JADE STAR" lacked experience with the on-board automated system and was therefore unable to react quickly and effectively enough to recognize and rectify the problem.
