A new type of design and new type of unloading facilities have been incorporated in the ship Suspendjicense of tugb^ofpMoT in dredge case QUEBEC (CP) - A tugboat captain's license as a pilot was suspended yesterday for four months following an inquiry into the sinking of the dredge Manseau.101. The Manseau 101 carried 10 crew members to their graves in deep St. Lawrence River waters near Quebec City after it was overwhelmed by heavy waves on Sept. 30. In rendering his judgment, Mr. Justice Camil Noel of the Exchequer Court also attached blame to Marine Industries Ltd., of Sorel, Que., owners of the sunken dredge, and ordered the company to pay part of the $7,500 cost of the inquiry. Judge Noel said Marine Industries was at fault for assigning the Manseau 101 to work on the river, although its certificate of navigability had expired in July, 1966, and had not been renewed. The judge said Capt. Roger Gamache of Rimouski, Que., whose tug, Captain Simard, was towing the dredge at the | time of the sinking, was guilty of negligence and errors in judgment. His pilot's license was suspended for a four-month period beginning Feb. 1. Mr. Justice Noel said no blame could be attached to the Cunard Steam-Ship Co. Ltd. owners of the liner Fran-conia, which passed the dredge minutes before the sinking. The inquiry had not shown the liner was either the cause, or a contributory case, to the accident and so no penalty could be imposed on her pilot, Captain Charles Auguste Bouille, although it would have been better If he had slowed his ship, the justice said.
