This report discusses the collision that occurred on the evening of January 12, 2002, between the U.S. Coast Guard patrol boat CG242513, which was on a routine patrol of Biscayne Bay, Florida, and the small passenger vessel Bayside Blaster, which was on a sightseeing tour of the area. The accident resulted in no deaths or serious injuries. However, both Coast Guard crewmembers and 2 of the Bayside Blaster's passengers were taken to a hospital for examination. Damages to the patrol boat (which was a total loss), the Bayside Blaster, and a moored recreational boat total $184,722. From its investigation of the accident, the National Transportation Safety Board identified safety issues regarding the adequacy of the following: operation of the Coast Guard patrol boat; operation of the Bayside Blaster; Coast Guard oversight of routine patrols; Boatrides International, Inc. (owner of the Bayside Blaster) management oversight; kill switch operation on Coast Guard nonstandard boats; lifejacket stowage on the Bayside Blaster; and Coast Guard safety oversight of small passenger vessels in Miami. On the basis of its findings, the Safety Board made recommendations to the U.S. Coast Guard, to Boatrides International, Inc., and to the Passenger Vessel Association.
