新奥尔良河船碰撞事故：船上人员全部幸存，32人送医

我们当时说尚无定论的问题

  1. 现有报道尚未厘清患者后续康复情况、经核实后统一的在船人数、水上救援最终人数以及碰撞原因。

    尚无定论

    星期六仍有8人住院，其中两人伤势严重，六人情况稳定。最终在船人数和水上救援人数、患者后续情况以及碰撞原因仍未厘清。⁠2⁠4

  2. 请关注患者情况更新、经核实的乘客与船员人数明细、航道重新开放时间线以及官方调查结论。

    尚无定论

    调查人员已抵达并取回油轮记录器，河道交通也已部分恢复双向通行。经核实的乘客与船员人数明细、准确的重新开放时间线、渡轮服务恢复情况以及官方事故原因调查结论仍未公布。⁠4⁠112

现在

Atlantic Asphalt 撞击并导致 American Heritage 倾覆，船上所有人均已生还。调查人员正在取回油轮记录器，救援人员则准备开展为期数周的打捞作业；目前仍有8人住院。

倾覆在新奥尔良密西西比河中的客运游船 American Heritage 上仍有约 16,000 加仑燃料。安全抽除燃料是打捞作业的先决条件，而打捞预计需要数周。救援已经结束；沉船周围的危险仍未消除。⁠4

11月14日星期六下午，油轮 Atlantic Asphalt 前一天撞上停靠中的游轮后，仍有8人住院。两人伤势严重，六人情况稳定。两艘船上的人员均已确认无误，没有人员死亡报告。美国国家运输安全委员会（NTSB）调查人员已抵达现场，并取回油轮的航行数据记录器，这是查明一艘行驶中的船为何撞上静止船只的重要一步。⁠2⁠4

在11月14日的报道中，包括09:01 UTC的更新，我们报道称所有人均已生还，32人被送往医院。当时官员称乘客伤情均不危及生命，调查人员也尚未抵达。星期六的医疗评估和记录器取回工作推进了相关报道。“严重”与“危重”是不同的医疗类别：最新声明不能证明某位患者的病情恶化，但早先令人安心的说法已不足以描述人员伤亡状况。⁠25⁠2⁠4

碰撞发生于11月13日星期五中部标准时间约下午12:30，地点为港口的 Thalia Street Terminal。由 American Cruise Lines 运营的 American Heritage 约两小时前已靠岸。结束为期8天、途经路易斯安那州和密西西比州的航程后，乘客正在准备离船，或已经开始上岸。⁠2⁠3⁠5

Atlantic Asphalt 正逆流而上，撞上游船的后部和左舷。American Heritage 进水、倾斜，并在疏散仍在进行时翻侧，船体大部分没入水中。目击者 Jamie Holford 告诉 CBS News，他看到人们匆忙离船，随后在船身翻侧时爬过栏杆。他形容当时的声音是“成吨钢铁挤压碰撞”。⁠10⁠115⁠2

拖船操作员、附近工人和私人船只加入港口警察、市警察、消防员及海岸警卫队的救援行动。港口警察局长 Melanie Montroll 估计，游船仍浮在水面时有87名乘客和船员离船；市长 Helena Moreno 星期六估计，约有100人从水中被救起。这些是针对疏散不同阶段的估计数字，并非经过核对的救援记录。官员称，救生衣和迅速响应避免了人员死亡。⁠8⁠10⁠2⁠4

Moreno 表示，游船船长受了伤，但一直留在船上，直到乘客和船员都确认无误后才离开，成为最后一名离船的人。他最初拒绝接受治疗，先确认每个人的位置。American Cruise Lines 一直在为受影响乘客安排酒店和生活必需品。⁠4⁠25

生还情况明确；人数仍未厘清

船上确切人数仍有争议。11月14日，La Voz de Galicia 报道船上最多有129人，FRANCE 24 报道有180名乘客和船员，CBS Los Angeles 后来报道了 Moreno 给出的191人总数。港口自身估计约129人，指的是不包括船员的乘客人数。《卫报》11月14日的报道给出197名乘客，是另一个尚未核对的数字。没有最终公开的乘员名单解释这些差异。⁠13⁠8⁠2⁠3⁠112

这些类别很重要。American Heritage 标称可载150名乘客，但这不包括船员人数，也不能证明实际载客人数。此外，已经上岸的人、直接撤离的人和从河中救起的人，不能被当作可以互换的救援人数来统计。⁠2

住院人数的统计仍未厘清。La Voz de Galicia 11月14日的报道沿用了早期估计的12人送医人数，之后的报道已取代这一数字。WorkBoat 当天报道称有30名乘客和两名港口警察；CBS Los Angeles 报道有32名乘客，并另行称两名警察住院且情况良好。无论是确定总数为32人，还是另加警察后总数为34人，都没有得到证实。星期六仍有8名患者住院，是目前最明确的后续更新，但并非逐人记录的出院情况。⁠13⁠10⁠2

记录器尚未给出答案

NTSB 抵达现场前，曾因全国航空地面停飞令而延误。委员会成员 John DeLeeuw 在星期六的简报会上证实，调查人员已检查倾覆的游船，并取回 Atlantic Asphalt 的航行数据记录器。记录器会采集船只对水航速、航向、航线及驾驶台音频。取回记录器属于证据收集，并不代表已宣布录音内容证明了什么。⁠112⁠2

调查人员正安排在接下来两天进行访谈，并准备检查河对岸的油轮。确保能够安全接近 American Heritage 并保存证据，是当前的首要任务。DeLeeuw 说：“在开展任何工作之前，我们必须确保调查人员的安全。”⁠112

海岸警卫队船长 Melanie Burnham 曾称事故中似乎发生了转向失灵，同时强调原因仍不明。Moreno 说油轮“失去了控制”。这两种描述都不能证明存在机械故障、引航员失误或维护疏忽。Burnham 还说，她没有迹象表明此次碰撞与恐怖主义有关。⁠2⁠4

《泰晤士-皮卡尤恩报》|《倡导者报》的报道提供了更详细的接近过程：油轮以约9节的速度驶过阿尔及尔角，在新月城联络桥前急转向右舷，随后航速降至7节和6节，并在以近乎直角撞击前抛下锚。一名长期在当地执业的河道引航员当时在船上。州工程师未发现桥梁有碰撞损伤。这些观察描述了接近过程，但没有解释为何失去控制。⁠115

该报还取得了相关记录，显示这艘油轮于2024年7月在巴尔的摩附近发生自动驾驶仪故障；同年9月在威尔明顿失去驾驶台与机舱之间的通信；2025年救援艇未准备好迅速部署；2026年6月泵房线路出现故障。加拿大和欧洲监管机构也记录了该船2025年的其他缺陷。记录显示，船员采取了措施处理这些问题。⁠115

海事律师 Carra Miller 称，对于一艘2017年建造的油轮而言，如此多的缺陷并不寻常，但她表示，没有任何一项明显与此次碰撞直接相关。关键区别在于：值得调查的维护记录，并不等于已经查明事故原因。⁠115

游船进水情况也需要调查。曾任 American Heritage 航行官、在船上工作至2024年的 Colby Snyder 告诉该报，这艘船没有近海工业船常见的水密门，并称水可能沿船体扩散。他的说法并非关于该船状况的工程结论，也不能证明船只为何倾覆。⁠115

救援与责任认定各自推进

紧急关闭93至96英里航道后的河道通航状况已有变化。FRANCE 24 在11月14日的报道中称，水道仍关闭，等待评估和清理；Fox News 后来报道称，河道已部分恢复双向通航，Atlantic Asphalt 已移离，American Heritage 周围仍设有500英尺的安全区。后来的报道取代了全面关闭的说法。确切的重新开放时间线以及渡轮服务是否恢复，仍未得到确认。⁠8⁠4⁠58

潜水员预计将评估沉船，污染应对团队则在监测河流。Burnham 表示，船员尚未发现需要清除的水面泄漏物，但警告称，打捞过程中危险物质可能泄漏。燃料估算指的是 American Heritage，而不是已确认装载在 Atlantic Asphalt 上的货物数量。该油轮专门运输沥青和柏油，并不能证明碰撞时船上装载的是什么。⁠4⁠2

我们说的是几周，不是几天，是几周。

船长 Melanie Burnham 4

财务责任追究已进入联邦法院。港口于11月13日提起的诉讼将 Atlantic Asphalt、船东 Nave Shipping SA 和管理公司 Thome Ship Management Pte Ltd 列为被告。诉讼称港口财产损失超过 $1 million，并要求赔偿清理、检查、维修及其他费用。这并非此次碰撞造成的全部损失的最终估算。⁠5

法官 Wendy B. Vitter 于11月13日授权扣押油轮。扣押是否实际执行尚未得到确认，授权也不等于已经完成出售或作出最终责任判决。海事法中关于行驶中的船只撞上静止物体的推定可以被推翻。OSM Thome 表示，其船员安全，油轮在锚地停泊稳定，并正配合当局调查。⁠112⁠115⁠5

DeLeeuw 估计，初步报告约30天后出炉，针对可能原因和潜在安全建议的最终报告则需18–24个月。这些只是预期，并非截止期限。成功救援结束了搜寻幸存者的工作，却没有解决事故如何发生，也没有解决如何安全移走沉船。⁠112

播出原貌
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Investigators have recovered the tanker's recorder. Why did it strike the stationary riverboat, and what will it take to recover the wreck safely?
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. Subscribe to this channel to follow the injured patients, the collision investigation and the riverboat's recovery.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
  25. 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.
  26. 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.
  27. 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.
  28. 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.
  29. 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.
  30. 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.
  31. 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.
  32. 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.
  33. 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.
  34. 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.
  35. 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.
  36. 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.
