This report discusses the May 8, 2010, allision of the 'Andrew J. Barberi' with the St. George terminal at Staten Island. A total of 266 persons were on board the vessel. As a result of the accident, 50 people were injured, 3 of them seriously. Damages to the vessel and the terminal structure totaled $182,238. Although this accident was not a major marine casualty, as defined at 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 850 and 46 CFR Subpart 4.40, the National Transportation Safety Board chose to investigate it because the 'Andrew J. Barberi' was also involved in an allision in 2003. Eleven people died and 70 people were injured in that accident. Safety issues identified in this accident include undetected loss of propulsion control and lack of propeller pitch deviation alarms on vessels with controllable pitch or cycloidal propulsion, operational safety provided by safety management systems, and lack of voyage data recorders on U.S.-flag ferries. On the basis of its findings, the National Transportation Safety Board makes recommendations to the U.S. Coast Guard.
