Narrative

On 9 May 2000, the tug Ocean Jupiter girded and nearly capsized while assisting with the departure manoeuvre of a deep-sea vessel at the Port of Montreal, Quebec. The wording is taken from Appendix B of a Transportation Safety Board of Canada report, which lists the occurrence among Canadian marine events. The annex does not provide a detailed sequence, casualty outcome, damage assessment, or causal finding for this occurrence.

The available record therefore supports classification as a near capsize, but not a more specific conclusion about the tow arrangement, hydrodynamic conditions, or the mechanism that caused the girding. A casualty count, direct damage, or economic loss is not stated in the reviewed occurrence entry.

VesselFinder particulars identify Ocean Jupiter as a Canadian-flagged tug with IMO number 9220160, gross tonnage 178, length overall 25.90 metres, and breadth 9.14 metres. These particulars are secondary vessel metadata and are not findings from the TSB occurrence entry.

Investigation

The Transportation Safety Board of Canada Appendix B occurrence list is the available official record for this event. A separate full investigation report or detailed causal analysis was not identified in the reviewed material.
