The Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) released its investigation report (M11N0047)<\/a> into the November 2011 striking incident involving the supply vessel Maersk Detector<\/em> and the mobile offshore drilling unit GSF Grand Banks<\/em>
\n in the White Rose oil field off the Grand Banks of Newfoundland. The Report Found Poor
\ncommunication between the vessel’s bridge officers, as well as between
\nthe vessel and the rig, allowed the cargo operation to continue with key
\n personnel unaware that the risk of striking was high.<\/p>\n

After the incident, the GSF Grand Banks was towed to Halifax for repairs. Full coverage can be found at http:\/\/blog.halifaxshippingnews.ca\/search\/label\/GSF%20Grand%20Banks<\/a><\/p>\n

On the afternoon of

The investigation found that the relevant weather information was not
\n provided proactively to the bridge officers, so they were unaware that
\nthe weather limits for the operation had been reached. Furthermore, the
\nbridge officers did not work as a team, nor did they thoroughly use
\nelectronic data available to them to maintain separation distance. As
\nwell, the Master prioritized his visual assessment of distance and
\nposition over the dynamic positioning alarms and warnings, which were
\nindicating that the vessel was not maintaining its position well. The
\nBoard also found that, without formal bridge resource management
\ntraining and continued proficiency, there is an increased risk to the
\nvessel, its complement and the environment.<\/p>\n

The ship operator, Maersk Supply Services Canada Ltd., and Husky Oil
\nLtd., the oil field operator, have made important changes to their
\noperations to mitigate the risk of a similar accident happening again.
\nTransport Canada has also proposed amendments to the Marine Personnel
\nRegulations regarding bridge resource management training.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
