Crash blamed on

“incident in whic} the Malaysian freighter, Mulpha Seremban, ran
into CN Rail’s Second Narcows train bridge.

The conclusion was, made in a recently-released Transport
Canada marine casualties report.

In addition, the repost found that no one shoard the Mulpha
Seremban calculated the vessel’s clearance when passing under the
partially raised bridge.

And the bridge itself. was not fully raised because of a misunder-
standing among bridge attendants, who had understood that its
‘centre span was not to be raised above:32 metres pending | repairs to

“a hinged stect bridge arm.
ij The Vancouver harbormuster was also/ ‘not advised that the
| bridge's centre span was not fully raised even though a repairman
had discovered the mechanical damage to the bridge on May 18.
CN’s Second Narrows rail bridge is the onty rail link between the
‘North Shore and Vancouver.

It has required special navigation measures since 1979, when one
‘of its main’ towers was rammed off its bearings hy a Japanese
\ freighter.
ie The crossing was not damaged by the Malaysian ship.
