Boat tragedy victim Alan Bottrill remembered as 'adventurer' after 'megawave' claims three lives

Family members of one of the men who died after a boat capsized near Port Lincoln late on Monday have paid tribute to the "adventurer who loved fishing".

Alan Leslie Bottrill, 71, was among three people who died when their boat was swamped by a wave off South Australia's Eyre Peninsula around 4pm on Monday .

His body and the bodies of the two other victims, Paul Eckert and his son Tom, were retrieved from the water on Tuesday.

Another of Paul's sons, Flinders University sleep expert Professor Danny Eckert, and Danny's 12-year-old son survived by clinging to a reef off Spilsby Island, 45 kilometres east of Port Lincoln, where they were found about 2am on Tuesday.

In a statement released on Wednesday, Mr Bottrill's wife Pamela and children Rónán and Amélie expressed their grief.

"Alan was 71 years old and still very much an adventurer who loved fishing, golfing and travelling with friends and family," they said in the statement.

"He leaves behind a wife, two children and two grandchildren who will miss him very much."

The family extended a "heartfelt thanks" to everyone involved in the search efforts including police, who "did a wonderful job", and the "community that has gathered around to support and care for our family".

"Our most heartfelt thoughts are with the families of everybody affected by this tragedy," Mr Bottrill's family said.

Ms Bottrill told ABC News she understood a "megawave" had struck the 6.2-metre fishing boat, and that there had been no time to activate new safety gear which had recently been installed.

She said her husband was an experienced fisher who had twice battled cancer and "never" thought he would have been killed fishing.

Survivors battled 'daunting' seas

Police began searching for the missing boat after family members raised the alarm about 8:30pm on Monday when the vessel failed to return from a fishing trip.

A police helicopter located the upturned fishing boat about 2am on Tuesday.

It was brought back to shore aboard commercial fishing vessel Delamere.

SA Police's Superintendent Paul Bahr told ABC Eyre Peninsula the duo who survived had to contend with a 1.5-metre swell as they clung to the reef.

"Because they were at a reef, they would have had the odd breaker breaking onto that reef so I think it would have been pretty daunting," he said.

"I think they are incredibly lucky and it speaks a lot about their own resilience that they managed to hang on."

He said the search – which included "selfless" efforts from local fishing vessels, the P&O cruise ship Pacific Explorer and a cargo ship – was assisted by teams on land.

"A lot of the search is guided by people remote from the actual search area who are running algorithms across drift patterns and swell patterns and tides to determine where debris and individuals may float and drift as the days go on," he said.

"There's a lot of work goes into ensuring that we put a bit of intelligence into this and make sure that our searches are concentrating in the right areas and that's where we get this sort of result."

Superintendent Bahr said the involvement of local fishing vessels in the search had been "critical".

"Port Lincoln is remote from the rest of the state and so we are very self-reliant. We are reliant on the good will of volunteers to help us and we are fortunate that we have such a large fishing fleet here," he said.

"The crews like the Delamere were pretty selfless in the support they gave us."

He urged anyone planning a fishing trip to ensure they have working and up-to-date safety equipment, and ensure everyone aboard knows how to use it.

He said a report would be prepared for the coroner.

Who owns the ship that struck the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore?

By Megan Cerullo

Edited By Anne Marie Lee

Updated on: March 26, 2024 / 5:05 PM EDT / CBS News

The collapse of  Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge on Tuesday after being struck by a cargo ship has raised questions about who owns and manages the ship, as well as on the potential impact on one the busiest ports in the U.S.

Called the Dali, the 948-foot vessel that hit the bridge is managed by Synergy Marine Group, a Singapore-based company with over 660 ships under management worldwide, according to its website . The group said the ship was operated by charter vessel company Synergy Group and chartered by Danish shipping giant Maersk at the time of the incident, which sent vehicles and people tumbling into the Patapsco River.

"We are horrified by what has happened in Baltimore, and our thoughts are with all of those affected," Maersk said in a statement to CBS News on Tuesday, in which it also confirmed the ship was carrying cargo for Maersk customers. The company had no crew or personnel aboard the ship.

The Dali, which can carry up to 10,000 twenty-foot equivalent units, or TEUs, was carrying nearly 4,700 containers at the time of the collision. It was operated by a 22-person, Indian crew. It was not immediately clear what kind of cargo the ship was carrying. 

Who owns and manages the Dali?

The Dali is owned by Grace Ocean Private, a Singapore-based company that provides water transportation services. The ship was chartered by Danish container shipping company Maersk at the time of the collision.

Synergy Marine, founded in 2006, provides a range of ship management services, including managing ships' technical components and their crews and overseeing safety, according to S&P Capital IQ. Its parent company, Unity Group Holdings International, an investment holding company, was founded in 2008 and is based in Hong Kong.

Where was the ship headed?

The outbound ship had left Baltimore and was headed for Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka, Synergy Marine Group said in a  press release . 

How busy is the Port of Baltimore?

In 2023, the Port of Baltimore handled a record 52.3 million tons of foreign cargo, worth $80 billion, according  to the office of Maryland Gov. Wes Moore. The port is also a significant provider of local jobs. 

The top port in the U.S. for sugar and gypsum imports, it is the ninth busiest U.S. port by the total volume and value of foreign cargo handled. All vessel traffic into and out of the facility is currently suspended, although the port remains open and trucks continue to be processed within its terminals, according to a statement released by Port of Baltimore officials. 

What is the potential local economic impact?

Directly, the port supports 15,300 jobs, while another 140,000 in the area are related to port activities. The jobs provide a combined $3.3 billion in personal income, according to a CBS News report . The Port of Baltimore said Tuesday that it is unclear how long ship traffic will be suspended.

The disaster also caused chaos for local drivers. The Maryland Transportation Authority said all lanes were closed in both directions on I-695, with traffic being detoured to I-95 and I-895.

How could the bridge collapse affect consumers and businesses?

Experts say the bridge collapse could cause significant supply chain disruptions.

"While Baltimore is not one of the largest U.S. East Coast ports, it still imports and exports more than 1 million containers each year, so there is the potential for this to cause significant disruption to supply chains," Emily Stausbøll, a market analyst at Xeneta, an ocean and air freight analytics platform, said in a statement. 

She added that freight services from Asia to the East Coast in the U.S. have already been hampered by drought in the Panama Canal, as well as risks related to conflict in the Red Sea. Nearby ports, including those in New York, New Jersey and Virginia, will be relied on to handle more shipments if Baltimore remains inaccessible. 

Whether ocean freight shipping rates will rise dramatically, potentially affecting consumers as retailers pass along higher costs, will depend on how much extra capacity the alternate ports can handle, Stausbøll said. "However, there is only so much port capacity available and this will leave supply chains vulnerable to any further pressure."

Marty Durbin, senior vice president of policy at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said that the bridge is a critical connector of "people, businesses, and communities."

"Unfortunately, its prolonged closure will likely disrupt commercial activities and supply chains that rely on the bridge and Port of Baltimore each day," he said in a statement.

What other industries could be affected?

Trucking companies could be severely affected by the disaster. 

"Aside from the obvious tragedy, this incident will have significant and long-lasting impacts on the region," American Trucking Associations spokesperson Jessica Gail said, calling Key Bridge and Baltimore's port "critical components'' of the nation's infrastructure.

Gail noted that 1.3 million trucks cross the bridge every year — 3,600 a day. Trucks that carry hazardous materials will now have to make 30 miles of detours around Baltimore because they are prohibited from using the city's tunnels, she said, adding to delays and increasing fuel costs.

"Time-wise, it's going to hurt us a lot," added Russell Brehm, the terminal manager in Baltimore for Lee Transport, which trucks hazardous materials such as petroleum products and chemicals. The loss of the bridge will double to two hours the time it takes Lee to get loads from its terminal in Baltimore's Curtis Bay to the BJ's gasoline station in the waterfront neighborhood of Canton, he estimated.

Cruise operators are also being affected. A Carnival cruise ship that set off Sunday for the Bahamas had been scheduled to return to Baltimore on March 31. Carnival said Tuesday that it is "currently evaluating options for Carnival Legend's scheduled return on Sunday." The company also has cruises scheduled to set sail from Baltimore through the summer. 

Norwegian Cruise Line last year introduced new routes departing from the Port of Baltimore. Its sailings are scheduled for late this year. The company said the Key Bridge collapse doesn't immediately require it to reroute any ships.

Who will pay to rebuild the bridge?

President Biden said Tuesday that the federal government, with congressional support, would pay to rebuild the bridge.

"We're going to work with our partners in Congress to make sure the state gets the support it needs. It's my intention that the federal government will pay for the entire cost of reconstructing that bridge," Biden said in comments from the White House. "And I expect the Congress to support my effort. This is going to take some time. The people of Baltimore can count on us though, to stick with them, at every step of the way, till the port is reopened and the bridge is rebuilt."
