French container vessel operator CMA CGM is revising steering steerage throughout its fleet after ambiguous procedures contributed to one among its ships colliding with a navigational beacon within the Yarra River in Melbourne, Australia, an Australian Transport Security Bureau (ATSB) investigation report notes.
Departing the Port of Melbourne on Could 25, 2023 beneath the conduct of a harbour pilot, the containership CMA CGM Puccini contacted the navigational beacon after swinging large in a flip when its rudder started responding erratically to helm orders.
