in a similar incident, on august 13, 1992, the ship pulled out of her berth at the departure bay terminal while vehicle loading ramps were still lowered and resting on the ship. three people were killed, one was seriously injured, and two others received minor injuries when a van from alberta containing 6 people fell from the upper deck onto the lower car deck and finally into the sea below. the van was stopped and instructed to wait on the loading ramp by terminal crew members. the transportation safety board of canada determined that this accident was caused primarily by the vessel not properly following departing procedures and secondarily due to poor communication between terminal and ship crew members.
