• Striking/AllisionSerious
  Jun 3, 2005CPR BRIDGE, SOUTH SHORE CANAL, ST.LAWRENCE SEAWAY, QUEBEC (QC)

  As the Federal Sakura proceeded upstream towards the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) bridges 7A and 7B, the vessel's bridge team noted that the signal lights on Bridge 7A were still red. The pilot then attempted to contact the bridge operator, but there was no response. The decision was made to stop the vessel under the Honoré-Mercier Bridge, downstream from bridges 7A and 7B. There was no headway, but the stern of the vessel brushed against the south pier of the Honoré-Mercier Bridge. After the operator of bridges 7A and 7B took ill, he was replaced by another bridge operator, who immediately activated the signal for train 89 operated by the Agence métropolitaine de transport (AMT 89) to proceed on Bridge 7A. Subsequently, the bridge operator released Bridge 7A's emergency stop push button and started raising the lift span to allow the Federal Sakura to continue its voyage.
