Harbour Masters Report 2011

INTRODUCTION
This report is intended to give the reader an overview of how ABP manage the
navigational safety of the Humber Estuary, Rivers Ouse, Trent and the Humber, in
relation to its obligations as a Harbour and Pilotage Authority. The Humber continues to
be the busiest estuary in the United Kingdom with some 13,070 inward shipping
movements in 2011, giving rise to 28,708 vessel movements in total. In addition, there
were 4,259 recorded Oil Barge movements moving 1.35 million tonnes of product
between Immingham, Hull and upriver destinations. Latest available statistical figures
indicate that in excess of 76.9 million tonnes of cargo and over 1.007 million passengers
were handled.
An order for a new pilot launch was placed with Mustang Marine of South Wales in May
2010. The Nelson 48/50 launch is from the same mould used for our existing fleet but
previously supplied by Halmatic. The boat was delivered in early 2011 and named
Humber Mercury.
Towards the end of 2010 Siemens and Associated British Ports announced that they
have signed a Memorandum of Understanding in connection with ABP's proposed
Green Port Hull development at Alexandra Dock, Hull. The parties have agreed to work
together to develop plans for the construction of a new Siemens offshore wind turbine
manufacturing and export facility at the port with the aim of executing definitive
agreements in 2012.
On the South bank, Able UK are also proceeding with a consent application to build a
berth between South Killingholme Oil Jetty and Killingholme Haven to support offshore
wind farm manufacturing and exports.
Consent applications for the building of an outer Ro-Ro berth at Grimsby and the
deepening of the Sunk Dredged Channel were also submitted in 2010 and both were
approved early in 2011.
Page 3 of 89
2011 saw a slight decrease in river traffic overall (1.8% lower than 2010) due to the
economy, with highest concentrations of vessel traffic again centred on the Immingham
area. The number of reported Ship Defects accounts for the 8.5% rise in reported
Navigational incidents; we continue to work closely with the MCA and MAIB by passing
on these issues which result in targeted port state inspections.

It should be noted that the individual VTS reports are taken from contemporaneous shorthand notes recorded by the
Vessel Traffic Services Operator at the time of the incident/occurrence. As such, they have not been revised for
grammatical correctness.
The information contained in this report is subject to change at short notice. Although every
Effort is made to ensure its accuracy, users should not rely upon it without making their own inquiries.

As the vessel approached the East Walker Dyke, the vessel 'Telamon' suffered a mechanical problem whilst entering the Trent, and
swung to proceed back out. The 'RMS Laar' was committed into the Trent and ran aground whilst avoiding the outbound vessel
'Telamon'. The pilot turned the vessel and stemmed the tide at West Walker Dyke. Once the outward vessel had cleared the trent,
there still appeared to be rising water at West Walker Dyke, so an attempt was made to enter the Trent. As the vessel approached the
Apex, it became apparent that the tide was ebbing. Once past the Apex, the pilot requested that the Captain contact his agent and try
to arrange a berth at Flixborough or Grove, or swing and proceed back out to anchor.
Whilst passing Cliff End, the vessel was set onto the bank, starboad helm was applied but the port bow caught the ebb tide and the

Remarks / Statement
RMS Laar was in transit to Grove Wharfs in the Trent, running 1 mile astern of the vessel Telemon', who was also in transit to Grove,
berthing upriver of the RMS Laar. RMS Laar had passed WWD and was just at the Apex light committed to entering the Trent, when
the Telemon ahead indicated on VHF that she had a problem. It looked like the Telemon was swinging fully around to port, so the pilot
confirmed this and agreed a red to red passing. As the RMS Laar progressed further, it appeared that the Telemon was, if anything, to
the west of the leading lights, and not lying as expected. At this stage, it was felt that the only option was to pass close around the stern
of the Telemon. The vessel then passed close to the west of the Telemon, but then grounded just upstream of his position, on Island
Sand (Flats Light 120 x 0.25nm. Attempts were made to refloat, but the tide was pushing the vessel further onto Island Sand and at
0355 it was confirmed that the vessel would not be refloating that tide. The vessel ballasted to 4.2m E/K at this point. Tugs were
requested for PM tide on 21st, but due to problems at KGD, only Little Shuva was available from Goole. Attempts to refloat using Little
Shuva were not effective and vessels position and heading did not change at all. Tugs were requested again for AM tide on 22nd, and
Lashette and Gillian Knight attended. Attempts were made to work the RMS Laar astern, and a 70 degree change of heading was
achieved, but the vessel did not move astern. The tides up to this point did not follow predictions and were generally below throughout
the river. Tugs were requested again for PM tide on the 22nd. The Humber Charter attended with a relief pilot and then ran survey lines
around the vessel to confirm soundings. On this tide, indications were that the tide was above throughout the river and at 1511, the tide
was some 76cm above at Burton Stather. With the vessel on a drying height of 0.8m, she should have refloated at 1600. She came off
on her own power at 1540, without tug assistance. Guardsman was in attendance at 1545. The vessel was manoeuvred astern into
deeper water on the west side of the Trent and then handed the vessel over to pilot M. Taylor, who completed the passage to Grove
Wharfs (LM1). The Guardsman assisted

Pilot reports vessel grounded south side of river opposite Blacktoft whilst swinging to berth for approx
10 minutes.
Captain, Chief Officer and Pilot on the bridge.
While trying to swing the vessel off Blacktoft, the ship drifted too far south and grounded. The initial plan was to swing to port but, as
the vessel was right handed with a dead slow speed of 5.5 knots, the starboard swing could not be corrected with the standard rudder.
When swinging to starboard, the vessel drifted too far south and hard to starboard with half ahead was ordered. The ship started
swinging to port after which the vessel touched the bottom. After approximately 20 minutes, the vessel refloated and swung to the west
of Blacktoft.

Vessel departed Goole with HOT 3.6m and 50cm UKC. Visibility poor.
Pilot was aware of the need to use plenty of power leaving lock due to tide strength but elected to use half ahead due to HOT.
Departed lock. Difficult to get situational awareness owing to vessel design and very black night. Headed for East side lead. At one
stage checked the radar, speed 2.8 knots with helmsman struggling to steer. The vessel swung to port against the tide. Hard to
starboard helm was ordered but vessel stopped aground. Engines were operated astern with no effect. Engines were stopped until the
Little Shuva could arrive, as she was in Goole. Once tug arrived, the bow was pushed and vessel continued passage.

Vessel departing 8 Quay Imm has made contact with a Exxtor Terminal berth, with her port quarter, damaging a bollard
and some coping stones. There is no reported damage to the vessel. No injuries or pollution. ADM aware. Pilot awaiting
tug assistance.
Pilot boarded the vessel, no tug ordered, Wind E'ly 10 kts. Vessel was stbd side to on 8 quay Henderson's. The
headlines and sternlines were let go, and the stern began to drift to port. The pilot instructed hard to port and slow
ahead with little effect. The stern continued to drift to port and the pilot instructed to let go the fwd spring to settle
alongside Exxtor berth. When the port quarter landed on the Exxtor, the stern quarter overhung the quay and came into
contact with Bollard Number 5, breaking this as well as scuffing a 3m length of concrete fending and damaging a tyre
fender. A tug was ordered and assisted the vessel into the lock without further incident.
The Master had only joined the vessel 24 hours previously and was reluctant to handle the vessel.

some wooden fendering damage, and some slight denting to the ship's hull (Reported by Laura). No one was injured and
there is no pollution.
Whilst backing down onto HST berth 5, a gust of wind (18 knots) caught the bow, causing it to drift off to port, coming
into contact with No 1/2 berth dolphin.
The incident occurred during an assessment for the Masters PEC. The Master was advised to order a tug if berthing on
berth 5, as the bow and stern thrusters are not powerful enough if caught in a gust of wind or if the tide on the wrong
bow(flood) or quarter (ebb). The fender which is replacing No 1 panel fender on Berth 2 was broken. There was a dent
and scratches to the port bow and rubbing band was torn.

Berthing in KGD, wind WSW 5. Bow touched crane leg on QE9 berth, stern touched the dolphin fender. Port quarter
caused damage to the catwalk. Possible dent on vessels bow.
Throughout the manoeuvre, the Master had the controls with advice from the pilot. Inside KGD, the vessel was
proceeding to berth at QE 9Qy. When abeam QE 8Qy, the speed was reduced to less than 1.5 knots and the spring was
run ashore. The pilot instructed the Captain to put the engines slow astern and the bow thruster to port, as the vessel
was right handed. Despite this, the W'ly wind caught the stern and pushed it to port, emphasized by the transverse
thrust. The bow swung to stbd and landed on the quay so pilot instructed hard port rudder with kicks ahead to lift the
stern. The port quarter made light contact with the westerly most catwalk. As the vessel moved ahead, the wind
pushed the stern onto the second westerly catwalk, bending it. At this point, tug assistance was requested and
pilot/master informed that this would take 20 minutes. The stern then landed on the third dolphin. The pilot requested that
the master make a headline fast and run another spring. A heaving line was then run from forward to aft so that a
stern line could be secured. With the headline, spring and engines movements, the stern was brought in and the vessel
secured to the quay. The bow thruster was running to port throughout the incident. The tug was cancelled. Damage
caused was to the catwalk between the 2nd and 3rd western dolphins which were bent. The berthing master informed
the pilot that the bow had made contact with the crane leg but the pilot is unsure when this occurred. Damage to the
vessel was; two dents to stbd bow bulwark, dent on bulbous bow stbd side, dent on port quarter bulwark.

No reported damage to vessel.
Whilst manoeuvring in Goole Docks, the Master was on the controls taking advice from the pilot. While passing through
South Dock Bridge, a spring was deployed and used from the port shoulder. On entering the bridge gap, the port
shoulder was alongside the bridge island with the stern tight, but not touching the dolphin. When easing ahead to clear
the dolphin, the overhang of the bow came into contact with the bridge hand rails. Approximately 2-4 sections of hand
rails were bent on the South Dock Bridge. The vessel then berthed without further incident. The pilot suggests that the
bridge hand rails be folded down to stop this type of incident occurring.

The Master was manoeuvring the vessel in KGD with the wind SW 3-4. The wind gusted to SW 5/6 and the vessel
started closing onto 10 Quay knuckle and the vessel Isidor (on QE 10 Mid). The decision was taken to manoeuvre the
vessel ahead of the Isidor, land alongside and request a tug. Whilst manoeuvring alongside, the wind gusted again,
catching the stern. The vessel landed on the quay with the port quarter, making contact with crane. There was no
apparent damage to the crane but the railing on the ships monkey island were bent.

Pilot reports contact with structure when berthing alongside Henderson Quay in Immingham Dock. There was a dent in
the hull plating 20cm x 30cm, approximately 2 cm depth.
Master and Pilot on bridge at the time of the incident. Master had the con during manoeuvres with tug fast centre lead
aft. Vessel left Immingham lock to proceed to Henderson Quay. As the vessel approached the quay, the wind was having
a big effect, setting the ship towards the quay. The set speed was too high, the Pilot advised the Master to use the tug to
counteract the set. This achieved the desired effect. When the ship was approximately 5m from the quay, the Master
asked the tug to proceed to the port quarter. The vessel made contact with the quay just forward of the accommodation
with 25 metres still to come ahead to be in position. The impact caused a dent in the hull plating 20cm x 30cm,
approximately 2cm depth. The berthing master advised that the damage had been done as the point had landing had
been on one of the protruding steel ladders on the quayside. In the opinion of the pilot and the master, the berth was not
correctly set up for the size of the vessel, with the 2 fenders set in the incorrect position.

For departure, the Master and Pilot were on the bridge. The vessel was trimmed well by the stern which limited visibility,
so control was taken on the port side. The position of the controls was such that in order to gain a view of the ships
side, the pilot needed to stand at the control station, so he agreed with the Master that the pilot would operate the
controls and give a running commentary so he could verify what was being done. The vessel left the dock at 2200. The
vessel left under control and , as the bow cleared the knuckle, a controlled turn to port was started.
As the after visibility was limited, the pilot moved to the starboard side, leaving the Master on the controls - enabling the
pilot to get a better view of the pier. The Master did not understand the request of the pilot and moved control to the
starboard side. Prior to transfer, the engine was set to O position, rudder amidships and bow thruster stopped. Once
control had been moved, the display panel was showing an engine setting of full astern, despite the telegraph being set
to zero. As the ship picked up sternway, the pilot instructed the Master to take control on the port side again and give
full ahead. However, whilst this was happening, the vessel had picked up considerable sternway and made heavy
contact with New Holland Pier. After the collision, the crew were accounted for, control regained and VTS informed.
There was damage to the concrete structure, handrails and conveyor belt cowling on New Holland Pier. There was a
deformation of the steelwork on the vessel on the starboard quarter, extending 10m. Forward down starboard side,

The Master (Tripping Number 191), 2nd Mate and pilot were on the bridge. The Master conducted his own manoeuvring
throughout.
The vessel had left QE 9 and was proceeding stern first to the square for lock entry. Control of the vessel was with the
Master on the port bridge wing controls. It was apparent as the vessel proceeded that we would not clear the knuckle
on 10 quay. As the vessel approached the knuckle, the Master lifted the stern to starboard, which stopped the stern
closing momentarily, but did not lift it away.
At this point, the pilot suggested another kick ahead with port helm, but astern power was already being applied. The
stern dropped off quickly to port again and contacted the knuckle. The pilot reported this to KGD as the vessel continued
into the lock. The vessel proceeded without further incident and checks were made once in the lock, internally and
externally, for damage. None was evident.

On recovery of narrow boat from the top side of Gunthorpe, the Collingham began to proceed upriver to West
Stockwith Lock, with the narrow boat secured starboard side alongside. The crane holding the narrow boat clear of the
waterline was jibed up. In between Gunthorpe and West Stockwith Lock, overhead power cables were observed.
Unsure of the height of the power cables, the work continued. Once directly under the cables and unable to lower the
crane because of the narrow boat being supported, the crane missed the first power cable but came into contact with
the second.
This caused the power cable to break and it fell into fields on both sides of the river.

others damaged. Warning notice sent to Data Centre for pilots information regarding fender damage.
On boarding the vessel at the Spurn Light Float, the pilot car was sighted and no defects confirmed by the Master. It
was agreed that the pilot would conduct the transit up the river and the Master would manoeuvre the vessel into the
lock. The Chief Officer was to assist in communications.
On passing the A1 dolphin, the Master took over the manoeuvring, the plan being to head the vessel into the wind and
allow the tide to set the vessel into a position where the ship could be lined up for the lock. The Master commenced this
manoeuvre from the center console.
As the vessel passed inside the line of the IOT, the pilot noticed the speed was 5.6 knots and increasing. The pilot
challenged the Master which was acknowledged. As the vessel approached the East Jetty, the Pilot challenged the
Master again regarding the distance as it looked very close. Radio contact was made with the officer fwd for the first
time with a reply received in Icelandic. The pilot called Immingham on Ch 68to ask for distances, with the reply 35m and
closing fast. The vessel then started to turn to port, possibly due to the tide acting on the port quarter as the bow came
out of the tide. With the vessel still approaching the jetty fast, the pilot suggested that the engines be put aster. There
was then a lot of radio communications, but again all in Icelandic. The engine was then put astern and the bow thruster
full to starboard, all from the centre console.
The Master then went to the port wing console to take control, but this must have failed as he came back to the centre
console. The collision happened at this point. During the incident, all communications were conducted in Icelandic.
The vessel was holed on the bow above the waterline and dents in the same area.

Contact made whilst manoeuvring in the lock during outward passage from Grimsby.
Inga (Tug), not effective enough to reduce vessels speed without assistance from vessel engines. When approaching
Grimsby lock outbound, the tug Inga was required to reduce the vessels speed, as Dead Slow/Slow ahead was needed
to maintain steerage. As the tugs power was insufficient, engines were stopped when entering the lock. As a result,
the wind pushed the vessel out of line.
The outer lock gates were closed at this time. During the manoeuvre from berth to lock, communications with Inga were

Tug centre lead aft, backing through bridge, tugs weight reduced due to sternway.
Wind caught port bow, pushed the bow to starboard. The stern came around to port towards the bridge recess on
starboard side of bridge hole. Vessel was in ballast with a high transom.
Hard to port was ordered with a kick ahead. However, with the time it took for Master, rudder and CPP pitch to react and
be applied, port quarter made contact with SE corner of bridge recess.
27 Dec CITY OF LUTECE
GY Royal
Vessel made contact with lock on entry into Grimsby.

During the approach to Grimsby, with tug Inge fast aft and Este fast forward, the forward tug was instructed minimum
weight in order to bring the bow in line with the lock. The vessel gained speed and the weight of the aft tug was not
sufficient to reduce this. The engine was put astern, but with the effect of the propeller and effect of the tide, the port
bow of the vessel landed on the wheel of the lock, damaging the fender above.
30 Dec CITY OF LUTECE
GY Royal
Pilot reports v/l outbound has caused possible damage to the East inner Walkway and the West inner Walkway, no
reported damage to vessel.
Pilot also reports vessel inbound caused damage to the East Outer fender.
Vessel was departing Grimsby, passing through the lock on the level. Bridge team consisted of Master, Pilot, OOW and
helmsman. Prior to departure from No 18 berth, the pilot was advised the vessel had no operational bow thruster or
bridge wing controls. He was also advised that damage had been sustained to the East Outer lock wheel and that
contact should be avoided. Two tugs were used, ' Este' forward and 'Inge' aft. Transit from the berth to the lock was
completed with Master and pilot conning from the port bridge wing. Whilst lining up for the lock, the pilot advised the
Master that he wished to remain on the bridge wing to observe the distance off the port quarter and the west wall of
Royal Dock. As the bow made final approach to the lock entrance, Este was instructed to enter the lock. At this time, the
vessel started swinging to port (Wind W'ly Force 5, on the port beam. In an attempt to counteract the swing using the
tugs, excessive headway was gained and at this stage the Master had transferred to the starboard bridge wing.
The engines were put half astern and the tugs stopped to regain control. At this point, damage may have been caused
to the West Inner gate rails. The vessel was very left handed. During the resulting passage through the lock, in an
attempt to keep the starboard side free from the East Outer rolling wheel, the after starboard section trailed along the
East Inner gate. The after section of the vessel is sharply cut away in construction.
Damage was also reported to the East inner lock gate walkway.
30 Dec GALA
Goole
Contact made with bridge stanchions when passing through Goole south dock bridge.
Vessels position was difficult to control with engines, rudders and bow thruster. Captain was operating engine and
bow thruster. Chief Officer was operating steering gear. Due to difficulty in manoeuvring of the vessel, it was
necessary to land the starboard quarter on the wall, on bridge side. The starboard quarter bent the bridge stanchions.

Remarks / Statement
Imm Dk
POM calls VTS to advise of situation in IMM Dock. From Imm ADM the Sofia whilst manoeuvring in the dock for her
berth, had her engines jam astern and despite dropping her anchor has made contact with the Svitzer Ferriby.
The tug has suffered some fendering damage and the Saffier has an indentation and a 10 inch spilt to her stbd
quarter. No one was injured and no pollution was suffered. ADM has called DDM. VTS updates Duty Manager.
(Wind SW'ly 10-15kts).
1057 Pilot calls VTS to update us on the situation. Master had con throughout dock
movements, despite Pilot's advice, and both anchors were dropped in an effort to stop the vessel when the pitch
control jammed.
Vessel was inward to Immingham Dock and the vessel conducted the manoeuvre into the lock. At approximately
0820, the vessel left the lock to berth on Number 3 quay. Owing to the vessel being very right handed, the pilot
suggested that the vessel berth port side to, however, the Master declined and prepared to berth starboard side
to. At approximately 0836, the vessel slowed approaching the berth. The pilot was relaying distances from the
Berthing Master to the Captain and checking the distance off the starboard quarter from the vessel 'Clara'. The
Master set the port engine to 80% astern to gain some clearance forward. The Main Engine froze in the astern
position and the vessel gained sternway. The pilot ordered both anchors to be dropped and the main engine
emergency stop to be operated. At approximately 0852, the vessel made contact with the tug Svitzer Ferriby,
alongside No 5 quay. At 0856, the tug Svitzer Valliant was in attendance. At 0904, Main Engine power was
restored and the vessel proceed to berth on No 3 quay. Damage caused to the fendering on the starboard side
of the Svitzer Ferriby. There was damage to the shell plate on the starboard quarter of Saffier. The plate was
cracked, buckled and holed into the aft peak ballast tank.

LINDA MARIJKE
Trent
Berthing at LE1 Grove when rudder stuck hard to starboard and vessel contacted with berthed vessel. Minor
damage to both vessels. No injuries. No pollution. POM advised. MCA advised by POM.
The vessel was proceeding to Grove LE1 with the master on the controls and the pilot conning. Having
completed a starboard swing off Scotch crane, the vessel proceeded across the river and was using starboard
helm to keep the flood tide fine on the port bow. The vessel was closing Grove Wharf abeam of MV Astra on
dead slow ahead. Port helm was applied and power increased to parallel the berth. The ships head continued to
starboard and the pilot queried the rudder position with the master, who replied that it had jammed with starboard
helm applied. This was not apparent immediately as the deck head rudder indicators were not working. When the
pilot realised that contact with the other vessel was unavoidable, action was taken to limit the damage by
coming astern on the engines. When the vessel was safely alongside her berth, steering was checked and the
rudder was working but jammed again to starboard during repeat tests. Damage to Linda Marijke was stbd side,
midships, ships side railings set in for a length of 11 metres. Damage to Astra was paint taken off rubbing strake,
port shoulder, deck level for a length of 2 metres.
15 Jul
STADUM
Trent
During berthing at Grove LM1 bow of vessel grazed stern of vessel berthed ahead. No structural damage,
paintwork only to both vessels. No pollution. Minor damage to jetty.
The Captain was making a good approach to the jetty but when he went astern to take way off, the bow swung
to starboard towards the jetty. He gave port helm and a kick ahead to counteract this which swung the stern
towards the Fri Lake. The Master realised this and gave starboard helm to reduce the impact. There was
scraped paint on port bow of Fri Lake and scuffed concrete on Grove Wharf.
On own vessel, there was scraped paint on the starboard bow and the starboard quarter.

Conservancy Activities
December 2010 to December 2011
During this twelve-month period, the Survey Section of Humber Estuary Services undertook 691
individual hydrographic surveys, including 3 contract multibeam surveys for outside parties, 86
for UK Dredging and 83 Ouse leading line surveys. The greater part of the data obtained was
passed to the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office to form the basis of Admiralty charts for the
Humber Area. All information gained from these surveys was processed and charted, resulting
in the production and distribution of over, 10,000 chart copies, mainly to be used in Pilotage and
general navigation, a number of the local charts also being offered for general sale.
Humber Outer Approaches
Page 69 of 89
The survey work resulted in the planning and carrying out of some 33 movements of floating
navigation marks, in order to mark the fluctuations in the alignment of the navigable channel,
mainly in the Upper Humber. In addition, out of a total of 108 local Notices to Mariners issued
during the period, based on survey results, 52 contained warnings of shoal water.
The monitoring and maintenance of navigational aids dealt with 12 reports of deficiencies in
floating marks and 6 in shore marks all being satisfactorily dealt with.
5A Light Buoy prior to repair

The Skitter channel continued to be effectively the main channel for traffic bound to and from
the rivers Trent and Ouse due to the continued shoaling in the Hessle Sands area.
Page 70 of 89
Final installation of a new multibeam system was completed in September and 3 outside
contracts surveys with the new system commenced.
Multi-beam image of redundant pipeline crossing

Following a multibeam survey in November several previously uncharted shoals were found in
Immingham roads. Dredging commenced on them in December.
The Southern side of the channel at King George Dock continued to suffer from extensive
shoaling in the early part of the year. By July the shoaling had stabilized and improved slightly.
The Sunk Dredged Channel (SDC) remained at 9.5m below chart datum or deeper for most of
the year. Shoaling did take place in September and a small amount of dredging took place on
the Southern bank.
The stabilisation works on the Southern gas pipeline at Thorngumbald were completed in mid
December.

Statutory Harbour Consents

Associated British Ports (ABP) gave its statutory consent to construct and
operate a 500kW tidal stream generator (Neptune Tidal Power Generator) in
the River Humber adjacent to The Deep Business Centre.
Visitors to Spurn Control Tower

There were 66 organised visits to Spurn Tower over the year involving the
entertaining of 189 guests. These ranged from visits of prospective PEC
candidates; familiarisation visits by new pilots and staff through to larger
groups from marine orientated clubs and other similar organisations, including
the Hull Cat Zero Project which is working to get unemployed young people
back into mainstream employment or education and is supported by ABP.
