Summary
Investigation of M/V Fred striking Platform F after recovering its last anchor. The report attributes the collision to the pilot diverting attention from the vessel’s path, with failed platform lighting probably contributing. It discusses bow-light switch placement, bridge staffing and possible radar use, and records damage to both assets.
