The accident report discusses the striking of a submerged object by the ESSO PUERTO RICO as it was transiting the Mississippi River on September 3, 1988. The safety issues discussed include the need to re-establish the New York and New Orleans Vessel Traffic Services, the need for pilots to inform ship masters of abnormal waterway characteristics and of nonroutine maneuvers before they are executed, and the need for a review of the adequacy and safety of anchorages in the Mississippi River below Baton Rouge. Recommendations concerning these safety issues were made to the U.S. Department of Transportation and to the U.S. Coast Guard.
