![]() “Reference points for maneuvering should be identified, measured precisely, and reported clearly. “Proper voyage planning includes developing a complete plan for every phase of the voyage-from the vessel’s starting port to its end port (berth to berth), including leaving the dock and mooring,” the report said. ![]() NTSB investigators cited two lessons learned as a result of the investigation, voyage planning and reporting port or terminal modifications. The Sitka Sound Cruise Terminal’s failure to report the extension of the pier contributed to the incident. The NTSB determined the probable cause of the contact was the master and bridge team’s overreliance on an electronic chart to identify the pier’s position relative to their planned rotation location, and the master’s misunderstanding of the clearance distances to the pier being called by the crewmember on the stern while the vessel was rotating. ![]() The bosun was relaying accurate distances to the pier’s northernmost dolphin, but the master incorrectly assumed the bosun was calling out how much clearance the ship would have as the stern passed the dolphin. While docking, the bosun and master did not confirm the type of distances that were being communicated during the docking. In fact, NOAA had no record of the construction until NTSB investigators informed them of the pier’s extension after the contact. coastal nautical charts, of the extension. However, the Sitka Sound Cruise Terminal did not inform the National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the agency in charge of updating U.S. In April 2021, the Sitka Sound Cruise Terminal pier was extended by 395 feet, including adding two mooring dolphins connected by a walkway and a 410-foot-long floating dock next to the existing dolphins. The NTSB’s investigation found that the crew of the Radiance of the Seas relied heavily on the vessel’s electronic chart and information system (ECDIS) and an outdated navigational chart to plan and execute the docking. The Sitka Sound Cruise Terminal pier is shown on June 9, 2022, with barge alongside the damaged dolphin for repairing (with catwalk removed). While there were no reported injuries to the 1,375 passengers, 782 crew and four pilots on board, the incident resulted in $2.1 million in damages to the pier and impacted cruise ship traffic to the terminal for the remainder of the 2022 season. The incident occurred on May 9, 2022, when the cruise ship Radiance of the Seas struck a mooring dolphin while docking at the Sitka Sound Cruise Terminal, causing a minor hull indentation and damage to three of the four pilings supporting the dolphin. Overreliance on an electronic chart, miscommunication and an outdated navigational chart were all factors in a cruise ship damaging a cruise terminal pier last year near Sitka, Alaska, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said Tuesday.

This LUT is called BW-Bactor, from the Black & White LUTs set. You can import LUTs into categories which you can name yourself to make them easier to find later. LUTs are applied in the Exposure X LUT panel. I’m a huge fan of the presets, which can be used across a number of different programs. For this, though, I wanted to use a LUT (lookup table). There are all sorts of ways of doing this in Exposure X, including a large number of excellent presets. My first step was to convert the image into black and white. I’m using the finished image with all its layers for these screenshots, but switching the upper layers on progressively to show how the effect has been built. The first simply converts the image to black and white, the second applies a radial mask to lighten the central part of the scene and the third adds a contrast adjustment, a split tone effect and a frame. Note only that, sometimes you need to make local adjustments to specific areas of a photo, and for this you need separate adjustment layers and masks.įor this photo I wanted to do three main things, with an adjustment layer for each. In Exposure X5 (and many other programs) you can name the layers to remind yourself what you’ve done. Even if all the adjustments could be applied on a single layer, separating them in this way makes it much easier to keep the different stages and the things you’re trying to achieve separate. These are useful for all sorts of reasons. I like Exposure X for the way it works for this kind of image – its tools and adjustments seem to respond exactly in line with what I’m trying to achieve. These same techniques can be used in a lot of different programs. This doesn’t have to be done in Exposure X5. It’s also a good example the kind of image which works well in black and white, one with strong shapes and strong lighting with a good range of tones and some great tonal gradations. It uses a number of different tools so it’s a good chance to see how these work and how they can be used together. ![]() This project turns a regular color RAW file into a strong black and white image in Exposure X5. |
