NTSB crews used the ship’s voyage data recorder, or VDR, to piece together a rough timeline of events leading up to the collision.
But it will take months for them to gather the piles of physical evidence, maintenance records, ship data and witness interviews required to deliver a full report, Homendy said.
• 01:24:59 a.m.: Numerous audible alarms were recorded on the ship’s bridge audio.
• 01:26:39 a.m.: The ship’s pilot made a general very high frequency (VHF) radio call for tugboats in the vicinity to assist the vessel.
• Around 01:27:04 a.m.: The pilot ordered that the ship’s port anchor be dropped and issued additional steering commands.
