アメリカン・ヘリテージが転覆したタンカーとの衝突で、全員が生存した。調査員がタンカーの記録装置を回収し、作業員が数週間に及ぶ引き揚げ作業に備えるなか、8人が入院を続けている。
ニューオーリンズのミシシッピ川で転覆したままの旅客船「アメリカン・ヘリテージ」には、約16,000ガロンの燃料が残っている。数週間かかると見込まれる引き揚げ作業の前に、安全に燃料を抜き取らなければならない。救助活動は終わったが、事故船をめぐる危険は去っていない。4
全員生存は明らかだが、人数は確定していない
これらの区分は重要だ。アメリカン・ヘリテージの公称定員150人は乗客についての数字で、乗組員の人数は含まず、実際の乗船者数を示すものでもない。また、すでに陸に上がっていた人、直接避難した人、川から救助された人を、同じ救助人数として扱うべきではない。2
記録装置は回収されたが、原因はまだ分からない
調査員は今後2日間にわたる聞き取りを調整し、川の対岸にあるタンカーの検査準備を進めていた。アメリカン・ヘリテージに安全に接近できるようにすることと、証拠を保全することが当面の優先事項だ。「何かを始める前に、調査員にとって安全であることを確認しなければなりません」とディリーウは述べた。112
The Times-Picayune | The Advocateの報道は、より詳しい接近経路を伝えている。タンカーはアルジェ・ポイントを約9ノットで通過し、クレセント・シティ・コネクションの手前で右舷側へ急旋回した。速度は7ノット、さらに6ノットへと落ち、ほぼ直角に衝突する前に錨を下ろした。地元で長年活動する水先案内人が乗船していた。州の技術者は橋に衝突による損傷がないことを確認した。こうした観察結果は接近時の状況を示すが、制御を失った理由を説明するものではない。115
同紙はまた、2024年7月にボルティモア近郊で発生した自動操縦装置の不具合、同年9月にウィルミントンで起きた操舵室と機関室の通信途絶、2025年に判明した救助艇の迅速な出動準備の不備、2026年6月に見つかったポンプ室の配線不良を示す記録を入手した。カナダと欧州の規制当局は2025年にも別の不備を記録していた。記録によると、乗組員は問題への対処に取り組んでいた。115
海事専門の弁護士カーラ・ミラーは、2017年建造のタンカーとして不備の多さは異例だと述べたが、今回の衝突と直接つながるものは見当たらないとした。重要なのは、不備の履歴は調査に値するものの、それが原因だと認定されたわけではないという点だ。115
旅客船が浸水した経緯も調査が必要だ。2024年までアメリカン・ヘリテージに勤務していた元航海士のコルビー・スナイダーは、同紙に対し、同船には沖合の工業船にある水密扉がなく、船体に沿って水が広がる可能性があったと語った。この証言は、船の状態についての工学的な調査結果でも、転覆の理由を証明するものでもない。115
復旧作業と責任追及は別々に進む
これは数週間かかる作業です。数日ではなく、数週間です。
損害に関する責任追及は、すでに連邦裁判所に持ち込まれている。港湾当局は11月13日、アトランティック・アスファルト、船主のNave Shipping SA、運航管理会社のThome Ship Management Pte Ltdを相手取り提訴した。訴状は港湾施設に100万ドルを超える損害が生じたと主張し、清掃、検査、修理などの費用を求めている。これは衝突による損失全体の最終的な推計ではない。5
ディリーウは、予備報告書は約30日後、推定原因と安全勧告の可能性を扱う最終報告書は18〜24カ月後になるとの見通しを示した。いずれも予測であり、期限ではない。救助活動の成功により、生存者の捜索は終わった。しかし、事故がどう起きたのか、事故船を安全に撤去できるのかは、まだ明らかになっていない。112

放送時の内容
- Eight people remain hospitalized after a tanker capsized a docked cruise ship. Two are in serious condition and six are stable. Everyone aboard both vessels is accounted for, but recovering the riverboat will take weeks.
- Earlier on November 14, we reported that everyone survived and 32 people had been taken to hospitals. Officials then described the passenger injuries as non-critical. Mayor Helena Moreno's Saturday assessment now includes two people in serious condition.
- Investigators have recovered the tanker's recorder. Why did it strike the stationary riverboat, and what will it take to recover the wreck safely?
- The Atlantic Asphalt struck American Heritage at the port's Thalia Street Terminal on November 13, around half past noon local time. The tanker was traveling upriver. The passenger vessel was docked beside the Mississippi River.
- American Heritage had arrived about two hours earlier. Passengers were preparing to leave, or already coming ashore, after an eight-day cruise through Louisiana and Mississippi. American Cruise Lines operates the riverboat.
- The tanker hit the riverboat's rear section and left side. Water entered the hull, and the vessel listed before rolling onto its side. It became largely submerged while people were still being evacuated.
- Witness Jamie Holford saw the riverboat hit the dock and people hurrying to get off. He described the sound as “tons of steel crunching.” As the vessel rolled, some people climbed over railings. Others floated in life jackets.
- Moreno estimates rescuers pulled approximately 100 people from the water. Harbor Police Chief Melanie Montroll estimated that 87 passengers and crew had left while the riverboat was still afloat. Nearby boats joined the emergency crews.
- Tugboat operators, nearby workers and private vessels helped alongside Harbor Police, city police, firefighters and the Coast Guard. The fire department deployed 57 personnel and 23 vehicles. Officials credited life jackets and the rapid response with preventing deaths.
- Montroll estimated that recovering the remaining people from the water took up to 45 minutes. A separate estimate puts the interval before capsizing at 30 to 45 minutes. Those estimates describe different parts of the emergency.
- Moreno says American Heritage's captain was injured but stayed until passengers and crew were accounted for. He was the last to leave and initially declined treatment while checking where everyone was. American Cruise Lines has been arranging hotels and necessities for displaced passengers.
- The mayor's latest onboard total is 191 passengers and crew. Earlier figures included 129 and 180, and another later count gives 197 passengers. The port's own estimate of about 129 covers passengers only. A final public manifest hasn't reconciled those counts.
- American Heritage was built in 2015, stands five stories tall and is rated for up to 150 passengers. Crew are counted separately from passenger capacity. People evacuated directly, people already ashore and people rescued from the water also need separate counting.
- The initial hospital-transport estimate rose from 12 to 32. But the breakdown differs between 30 passengers plus two officers, and 32 passengers with officers counted separately. Officials haven't reconciled that combined total. Montroll said the two officers were in good condition.
- No one aboard the tanker was reported hurt. The Saturday count of eight still hospitalized provides the clearest subsequent medical update. “Serious” and “critical” are different medical categories, so the later assessment alone doesn't show that a patient's condition worsened.
- Subscribe to this channel to follow the injured patients, the collision investigation and the riverboat's recovery.
- National Transportation Safety Board investigators have now arrived and recovered Atlantic Asphalt's voyage data recorder. A nationwide aviation ground stop had delayed their journey. Board member John DeLeeuw held a Saturday briefing after earlier travel plans changed.
- The recorder captures speed through the water, heading, course and bridge audio. Investigators were scheduling interviews over the next two days and preparing to inspect the tanker across the river. They also examined the capsized riverboat, where safe access and preserving evidence are immediate priorities.
- Coast Guard Captain Melanie Burnham says investigators are examining an apparent loss of steering. The cause is still unknown. Moreno described the tanker as having “lost control.” Burnham also says she has no indication that the collision was terrorism-related.
- A longtime local river pilot was aboard the tanker. Its approach included a sharp turn to the right before the Crescent City Connection, followed by anchors dropping before impact. State engineers found no collision damage to the bridge.
- The tanker passed Algiers Point at about nine knots. It slowed through seven and six knots as its bow turned toward American Heritage, then struck at nearly a right angle. That approach still leaves investigators to determine why control was lost.
- Atlantic Asphalt is a Marshall Islands-registered tanker built in 2017, weighing about 15,000 tons. Its maintenance history includes navigation failures and safety deficiencies. Inspectors in Canada and Europe also recorded problems in 2025.
- Inspectors logged an autopilot malfunction near Baltimore in July 2024 and lost bridge-to-engine communications in Wilmington that September. They later found rescue boats unready for rapid deployment in 2025, and faulty pump-room wiring in June 2026.
- The crew took steps to address those problems. Maritime lawyer Carra Miller called the number of deficiencies unusual for such a young ship, but said none stood out as directly connected to this collision.
- Former navigation officer Colby Snyder, who worked aboard American Heritage until 2024, says it lacked watertight doors found on offshore industrial ships. He says water could spread along its hull. Investigators still have to determine the riverboat's condition and how it flooded.
- The Coast Guard has partially reopened the river to two-way traffic after initially closing mile markers 93 through 96. Atlantic Asphalt has been moved away. A 500-foot safety zone remains around American Heritage, keeping traffic clear of the wreck.
- Ferry service was suspended during the emergency, and officials haven't confirmed its resumption. The next major operation is removing fuel from the overturned riverboat before crews tackle the salvage.
- Crews are maintaining the 500-foot safety zone, and divers were expected to assess the riverboat. Burnham estimates approximately 16,000 gallons of fuel remain aboard American Heritage. Removing that fuel comes before salvage work expected to take weeks.
- Pollution teams are monitoring the river. Burnham says crews hadn't seen product in the water requiring removal, but warns hazardous material could escape during recovery. Atlantic Asphalt specializes in asphalt and bitumen, though officials haven't confirmed what cargo it carried during the collision.
- The Port of New Orleans claims more than one million dollars in damage to its property. Its federal lawsuit names the tanker, owner Nave Shipping and manager Thome Ship Management. The port owns the Thalia Street Terminal.
- The port alleges negligence and a failure to use available means to avoid the stationary vessel. It seeks cleanup, inspection and repair expenses, with further losses anticipated. The claim covers port property and related costs; the full damage assessment is continuing.
- Judge Wendy B. Vitter authorized a warrant and seizure of the tanker on November 13. The port had requested seizure and sale to cover its losses. The court authorized holding the vessel while the legal process continues.
- The detention order runs until a further court order or the port's written consent to release. Physical seizure hasn't yet been confirmed. A sale and final responsibility for the collision remain for the court to decide.
- OSM Thome says the crew is safe, the tanker is stable at anchor and its emergency response team has been activated. The company says it's fully complying with local authorities during the investigation. Owner Nave Shipping is a subsidiary of China State Shipbuilding Corporation.
- Maritime law generally presumes fault when a moving vessel strikes something stationary. That presumption can be challenged. Maritime attorney Tom Shlosman says possible defenses include fault by the docked vessel, reasonable care by the moving ship's crew, or an unavoidable accident.
- DeLeeuw says investigators may remain at the scene for at least seven days. A preliminary report is expected in about 30 days. A final report addressing probable causes and possible safety recommendations could take 18 to 24 months.
