The occurrence
On 23 March 2023, the roll-on/roll-off ferry Atlantic Vision was unmooring in preparation to enter the dry dock at Les Méchins, Quebec. During the unmooring operations, one of the mooring lines was released from the dock into the water to be winched back onto the vessel. The line was drawn into one of the vessel’s bow thrusters and wrapped around the rotating thruster propeller shaft, causing the line to rapidly pull through the mooring winch on the forward mooring deck.
