A pilot maneuvering a tanker too close to a bank before a turn on the Cooper River led to the collapse of a 300-foot section of pier at Joint Base Charleston’s Naval Weapons Station in South Carolina, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said Tuesday.The 600-foot Bow Triumph struck Naval Weapons Station Pier B while transiting the Joint Base Charleston Channel on Sept. 5, 2022. A Charleston Branch Pilots Association pilot was navigating the vessel, which sustained significant damage to the bow. The contact resulted in $29.5 million in damage. No pollution or injuries were reported. #Pilot #Tanker #Damage
