Summary
Investigation of Cape Hope’s collision with the Arctic I during synthetic oil-based mud transfer. Vessel-wide fuel shutdown removed propulsion power, allowing the supply boat to drift into and beneath the rig. The report describes emergency actions, lifeboat and structural damage, checks confirming no flooding, and estimated repair and well costs.
