Below are the details of the Vessel, weather condition, damage incured and other accident details such as the date: While in Johnstone Strait en route from Vancouver to Kitimat, British Columbia, via the inside passage, the "RAVEN ARROW" ran aground in Boat Bay on the south side of West Cracroft Island when the pilot, who had the conduct of the vessel, ordered an alteration of course.
The Board determined that the "RAVEN ARROW" grounded in fog when the pilot lost situational awareness and prematurely altered course to enter Blackney Passage after having elected to conduct the navigation of the vessel without assistance from the ship's complement. Contributing to the occurrence were the following factors: the pilot was probably fatigued; sound navigational principles were not implemented by the bridge team; the exchange of information between the pilot and the officer of the watch was minimal and imprecise; and the officer of the watch did not effectively monitor the pilot's communication with Marine Communications and Traffic Services.
