Little Saint James Accident Report: Big N and Cement Tanker Dated: 5-3-2011 Date of Incident 5-2-2011 Location of Incident: Close to St James Cut Description of Incident: At approximately 12:15 on 05/02/11 Big N departed Red Hook with a full cement tanker in route to LSJ. Sea conditions were moderate to 3ft with a slight swell. Wind was 10 to 12 out of the east south east, which is typical early, may weather. Big N was running at 1350 rpm which with a full tanker makes about 7.5 knots. If sea conditions are rough it is common practice to go through Current Cut and approach LSJ from the west; however sea conditions did not call for this so Big N was keeping ST James on starboard and approaching LSJ from the east. While rounding the southeast point of ST James on starboard side and a small beam sea on port the vessel was rolling very slightly when the tanker under carriage collapsed and the tanker rolled on to its side and ended up on the starboard rail of the Big N cause it list to starboard at an approximately a 35-40 degree angle. Steering was very difficult at this time but the vessel slowed to 4.5 knots and I continued on to LSJ. I made a call to clear the dock so I could come secure on starboard side.
