Collision between oil tanker Maria Desgagnés and sailing vessel El Tio off Île d’Orléans, Quebec, 12 September 2005 . : TU3-7/05-0192E-PDF

"On the evening of 12 September 2005, off Île d’Orléans on the Saint Lawrence River, the sailing vessel El Tio was bound for Repentigny, Quebec, under engine power. It followed the green buoys that mark the navigable waterway of the northern channel between Cap Gribane and Point Saint-Jean, Île d’Orléans, Quebec. At about 2300, the oil tanker Maria Desgagnés and the sailing vessel El Tio were moving towards each other. Having been informed of near-collisions between the sailboat and two other vessels a little earlier in the evening, the Maria Desgagnés’ bridge crew took steps to avoid a collision by trying to communicate with the sailboat and whistling warning signals. Nevertheless, the ships’ paths crossed upstream from the Saint-François quay. Despite the steps taken by the two vessels, the El Tio and the Maria Desgagnés collided. The oil tanker Maria Desgagnés was not damaged. The hull of the sailboat El Tio was, however, dented on the port quarter and its sails collapsed; the captain/owner was not injured"--Summary.
