In 2005, small fishing boat “Shinsei-maru No.3” was discovered at the off Cape Nosappu under the capsized condition, without being rescued until that time. From this accident, seven crew were lost. According to the official report of the Marine Accident Inquiry Agency, the fishing boat was returning to her home port Hanasaki, and met the container ship that was cruising from North America to Pusan and Hong-Kong. The collision was caused as the followings. The fishing boat was under crossing condition in front of the container ship from the left side of the container ship, but did not alter the course. Meanwhile, the container ship did not sound the warning signal to the fishing boat. Then, the fishing boat collided at the port-side bow of the container ship, and then capsized. In this paper, the physical mechanism that caused the capsizing of the fishing boat is investigated based upon the experimental model tests and manoeuvring simulations. Also, the investigation about the ship handling of the container ship is done for the prevention of such capsizing. |
