Marine Casualties and Incidents

The Board investigates marine casualties pursuant to the New York State Navigation Law.  The Board leads casualty and incident investigations typically in cooperation with the United States Coast Guard and the New Jersey Maritime Pilot and Docking Pilot Commission.  The investigation process includes interviews of the State pilot and witnesses and, where warranted, the Board appoints a Commissioner as Hearing Officer and formal hearings are conducted by the Board to hear witnesses and examine evidence.  After deliberations, the Board issues a written Opinion and Order, takes disciplinary action if necessary and makes safety and training recommendations to address specific concerns in order to prevent recurrences of future incidents.  The following cases either occurred in or were closed in 2022.
