On June 23, 1995, the passenger vessel Star Princess, traveling from Skagway to Juneau, Alaska, grounded on Poundstone Rock in Lynn Canal, about 21 miles northwest of Juneau. The vessel's bottom sustained significant damage. No injuries or deaths resulted from this accident. The total cost resulting from required repairs and the delay before the vessel could return to service was estimated at $27.16 million. The major safety issues discussed in this report are the adequacy of the pilots's physical fitness for duty, the importance of bridge resource management, the pilotage practices in the Alaskan cruise industry, and the need for search and rescue planning.
