COSCO BUSAN Incident Review Committee Report
The Board of Pilot Commissioners today received a report of the investigation by its Incident Review Committee ("IRC") of the accident on November 7, 2007 in which the M/V COSCO BUSAN, under the navigational control of Captain John Cota, a Board-licensed pilot, struck one of the towers of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, damaging the ship and releasing over 50,000 gallons of fuel oil into the waters of San Francisco Bay.

As a result of its investigation, the IRC concluded that pilot negligence was a factor in the accident.
