Warning : We found Canadian Marine Accident records for AL-3442 (SERSOU). 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 12 April 1991, at 1805, the Algerian-flag bulk carrier "SERSOU" and the Canadian-flag bulk carrier "SILVER ISLE" collided in the Chenal Île Sainte-Thérèse, a section of the St. Lawrence River ship channel within the limits of the port of Montreal. The collision occurred in daylight in relatively good visibility. No deaths, injuries, or environmental pollution resulted from the occurrence. Both vessels suffered heavy material damage.
The Board determined that the "SERSOU" and the "SILVER ISLE" collided primarily because the "SERSOU" developed a swing such that she was heading across the track of the "SILVER ISLE" as the two vessels were meeting. A contributing factor was the demand by the pilot of the "SILVER ISLE" that the vessels change to a non-conventional starboard-to-starboard passing arrangement under conditions of uncertainty and confusion as to whether such passing arrangement was finally agreed to before the vessels were in a situation of extremis. The situation was further complicated when the master of the "SILVER ISLE", called to the bridge late in the sequence of events, countermanded the orders of the pilot without having a full appreciation of the immediate situation and without notifying the "SERSOU".
