The shipmaster's failure to properly account for bank effect likely caused a bulk carrier to strike a moored police boat in Ohio's Black River, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has determined. The incident occurred Oct. 3, 2012, after the 730-foot John D. Leitch departed the Jonick Dock & Terminal in Lorain, Ohio. The Canadian-flagged ship, owned and operated by Algoma Central Corp., had been loaded with 25,877 metric tons of furnace coke at the terminal and was bound for Port Cartier, Quebec.
