Summary
A water injection riser suffered outer-coating damage against a sharp moonpool flare during installation through a vessel’s tilted lay system. The flash identifies missed design hazards, inadequate risk controls and failure to transfer earlier lessons. Recommendations address lifecycle learning, sharp-edge mitigation and vessel-team review of project-supplied equipment.
