Incidents and accidents

on June 7, 2010, Orange 8, heading east toward Osaka Nanko, collided with the fishing boat Toseimaru, heading south, about 1.3 nautical miles southeast of Shodoshima . As a result of the collision, Orange 8 sustained scratches in the center of the port side, while Toseimaru's captain sustained minor injuries and the bow was crushed. The captain of Toseimaru noticed Orange 8's approach 10 minutes before the collision, but was at the stern at the time of the collision cleaning mud from fishing nets, and did not notice the approach and increased speed to do so. Orange 8 saw Toseimaru 5 minutes before the collision, but thought it could pass by with a certain distance in mind based on its movements. 30 seconds before the collision, Orange 8 noticed Toseimaru's increased speed and shone its searchlight to warn of the danger, but did not use its whistle, so Toseimaru did not notice and the two vessels collided bow-first. The causes of the accident were determined to be failure to keep a watchful eye on the Toyosemaru and insufficient watch on the Orange 8.
