  May 6, 1997VANCOUVER HARBOUR, B.C.

  The "STAR HOSANGER" experienced difficulty in starting the main engine during berthing operations in Vancouver Harbour. Control of manoeuvring is by means of a Diesel Manoeuvring System 900 (DMS 900) computer system activated by the wheelhouse telegraph. The operation of the DMS 900 was not fully understood by the officers of the vessel. They mistakenly intervened and overrode the automatic restart sequence preventing the DMS 900 from functioning properly. When the starting air pressure fell below normal levels, the vessel's anchors were dropped to stop her. After the air pressure was regained the main engine was started and the vessel manoeuvred alongside without any problems.
