Investigation: Allision was result of human error

Fri Jul 04 13:44:11 CEST 2025 Timsen

An investigation by Florida's Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA) found out that the allision of the 'Jean Ribault' with a boardomg ramp, as it was about to depart from Mayport Landing.on May 4, 2025, at 6.30 p.m. LT, was the result of human error. No faults or malfunctions were found in the engines and electronic systems on the ferry in the aftermath of the accident. The vessel was then taken off operations, resulting in a temporary suspension of the St Johns River Ferry service.The JTA said it reopened the service on June 13, two weeks ahead of schedule and after the US Coast Guard inspected the ferry and cleared it to resume operational sailings. The investigation revealed that the captain had attempted to adjust the throttle on one of the ferry's two engines. The captain claimed that the throttle yielded no response to his input even after moving it back and forth. He then adjusted the other engine's throttle to see whether it was also unresponsive, and this action resulted in a reduction in power for that engine. The reduction in power in one engine meant that the counterforce to the propulsion generated by the engine on the opposite end of the ferry was also reduced. The vessel then headed in the opposite direction and ended up striking the ramp. The captain claimed he had previously encountered issues with the ferry's throttle but that the vessel itself was still able to operate on its assigned route,.
