Ship porn


there's a slightly incomplete report here

Basically, the chart survey was very old and didn't show the dredged channel. The 3rd mate would have read the port entry guide when preparing the passage plan and know the channel was 23m deep. The chart showed and area of 19.5m, which is blue, and 20.5m water to the side which is white. The captain appears to have know better, and was not challenged.
I have interesting discussions with 3rd mates at São Luis every time I inspect a ship there.
I was up there on a very similar ship a couple of weeks ago and I can confirm the Admiralty chart has now been updated.
