Report: Strong out draft caused tug allision
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) determined that the probable cause of an accident of the 'Mary Lucy Lane' was due to a strong out draft above the dam caused by the extreme high flow conditions, which overwhelmed the pilot's ability to control the tug, which was pushing 12 barges, when passing southbound at the Markland Locks and Dam on the Ohio River on Dec 18., 2018. It came in contact with the lock's wall and its guard wall. The impact caused the barges to break loose and allide with the moored US Army Corps of Engineers workboat 'Gibson'. The damage to the tig and the dam was estimated at $321,943. The Corps of Engineers estimated the cost to replace the 'Gibson' at $1.8 million.
