    Case Study Assignment

    Ferry, Tiiu, which was built in Turkey for operator TS Laevad, was en route from
    Rohuküla, Estonia to Heltermaa on the island of Hiiumaa on 28th of July 2017. After
    turning on the Rukkirahu channel, it veered to starboard when on autopilot. A senior
    officer on watch attempted to change the ship’s course away from the grounding
    danger using the automatic steering wheel, but was not initially able to so. The
    autopilot failure caused the ferry, full of passengers, to strike the bottom of the Baltic
    Sea causing hull damage, causing passengers to panic, according to local reports. An
    initial investigation into the accident showed that there may have been a technical
    malfunction in which the ship’s control system refused to respond.
