No one was injured in the accident nor did any pollution occur. With the pilot continuing at the conn, the docking maneuver was completed without further incident, with all mooring lines secured and the vessel starboard side alongside Pier 88 at 0618. Yet, the Carnival Horizon’s bow struck the second and third levels of Pier 90’s facility and parking garage. When the seafarers where reducing the distance between the cruise ship and the pier, the rate of turn to starboard led the vessel to head really close to the pier, with the third officer reporting that they were “getting really close,” to which the pilot immediately responded with a request to “back go back.” As a result, the scheduled 6,000 horsepower (hp) assist tractor tugboat JRT Moran, with a docking pilot from Metro Pilots on board, awaited the Carnival Horizon. ![]() The master remained on the bridge, with overall responsibility for the safe navigation of the vessel for the duration of the arrival in port.Īlthough hiring an assist tugboat and a docking pilot to berth the vessel was not mandatory, the Carnival Horizon master had previously brought the ship to the Manhattan Cruise Terminal and had on occasion chosen this option when faced with strong ebb and flood currents at the pier. About 0329, after a master/pilot exchange about the ship and the inbound transit, the Sandy Hook pilot assumed navigational control, also known as the conn, of the Carnival Horizon.
