The report explains the grounding of the U.S. tank ship STAR CONNECTICUT, in the Pacific Ocean, near Barbers Point, Hawaii, on November 6, 1990. The safety issues discussed are: Federal pilotage requirements at offshore oil transfer facilities; adequacy of vessel operating procedures for departing from the spm buoy at Barbers Point, Hawaii; need for regulations governing the operation of offshore oil transfer facilities within the United States' territorial sea similar to those which regulate the operation of deepwater ports (33 CFR 148-150); and bridge resource management training for deck watch officers of U.S.-flag vessels of more than 1,600 gross tons. The National Transportation Safety Board made safety recommendations addressing these issues to the U.S. Coast Guard, the Hawaiian Independent Refineries, Inc., and the Texaxo Marine Services, Inc. The Safety Board also reiterated one safety recommendation to the Coast Guard.
