Atlantic Blue grounded at Kirkcaldi Reef on 7 February 2009
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) issued the report of its investigation into the grounding of products tanker at Kirkcaldi Reef, Torres Strait on 7 February 2009. Investigation revealed that the course steered failed to account for the strong cross wind and tidal stream. The bridge team, including the pilot, failed to closely monitor the actual progress of the tanker until just prior to the grounding.
