Tug boats are not required to be used at that part of the harbor.

The Cargo Ships BLACK BOX Reveals the VDR Sensor Data “Ceased” Recording for 2 Minutes Prior to Impact

�� NTSB investigator Marcel Muise held a press conference to reveal the data on the DALI’s black box, also known as the Voyage Data Recorder (VDR).

• Approximately 6 hours of VDR data was provided to NTSB, with the time period between 12am-6am

• By regulation, VDR’s are required to record 30 days of history

• The quality of audio varies due to background noise and alarms — additional analysis will be performed at NTSB Lab to improve its quality.

�� TIMESTAMPS

• 12:39am, the ship departed

• At 1:07am (kek) the ship entered the channel

• At 1:24am, VDR Sensor Data CEASED recording…
— the VDR Audio continued recording being on a redundant power source.

• 1:26am, VDR resumed recording sensor data. No redundancy? ��

• 1:26am, the pilot made a general VHF for tugs in the vicinity to assist

• 1:27am, pilot ordered the DALI to drop the port anchor and ordered additional steering commands.

• 1:27am, the pilot issued a radio call reporting the DALI had lost all power

• At this time, MDTA duty officer radioed two of their units that were already on the bridge, due to construction, and order them to close traffic.

• 1:29am, the ship made contact with the bridge

• 1:29am, the DALI Pilot made contact with the Coast Guard to report the bridge down

�� MAIN TAKEAWAYS….

• The VDR Sensor Data is “missing” 2 minutes of data? Do you know how important this data is?

The VDR Sensor data records critical Information related to the operation of a vessel:
— ship speed
— engine RPM
— ships course and heading
— rutter angle
— as well as information on the ship’s communications with other vessels, the ship’s crew, and any external systems or equipment.

This does not look good…

Thanks for posting that information regarding the "VDR." It confirms that these VDR's are powered by batteries, and backup batteries, and not connected to the ship's power. Which, naturally, makes sense.

So it's "interesting" that this fairly new ship, less than 10 years old, was experiencing so many main ship's systems problems...and now we learn that about 2 minutes of critical sensor data...is missing. The VDR "stopped" recording sensor data for 2 minutes, and then started back up.

And there it is…

The Dali ship’s black box has 2 minutes of missing data right before it crashed into the Francis Scott Key bridge

The decision maker is a Baltimore based harbor pilot. Most of those guys have decades of knowledge in the port

"Addressing the collision, the NTSB said that current data points to a power failure, but they have not confirmed that or a possible reason for the likely power failure."

https://abcnews.go.com/US/live-updates/baltimore-key-bridge-collapse/ntsb-chair-confirms-some-hazmat-containers-on-cargo-ship-breached-108572752?id=108500215

So it was a power failure...it might have been a power failure...we have no possible reason for a likely power failure...but the first, definitive thing was can immediately say is...it's definitely not terrorism.

Good thing the trustworthy gov't agencies don't jump to conclusions!

"The decision maker is a Baltimore based harbor pilot."

The buck stops with the Captain. The Captain is always in charge (except while in the Panama canal) and the pilot is never in the "chain of command." The Captain can override a pilot's verbal suggestion(s), or actual piloting, at any time.

So the "decision maker" is the Captain.

The Dali ship’s black box has 2 minutes of missing data right before it crashed into the bridge. Hmmm.

“has 2 minutes of missing data right before it crashed into the bridge.”

Because the ship had no power?

A possibly related postscript, on a recent accident in the Houston ship channel. This YouTube video is worth the watch fit anyone interested in shipping and American port security...

Houston, we have a shipping problem, the sinking of the Miss Peggy, risks in US ports
