Ocean Freedom / Kirby 28044, Corpus Christi, TX, USA (NTSB DCA16FM003)Report published Apr 20, 2017
The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of the collision of the Ocean Freedom with the moored tank barges was the pilot’s rudder order in a direction opposite of which he intended. Contributing to the accident was the failure of the bridge team to identify the risk of collision and take appropriate action.
