Summary
Final checks aboard an offshore supply vessel found debris estimated to weigh approximately 1 kg in a lift-frame pocket before discharge. Earlier onshore checks had missed it, apparently because trailer positioning may have obstructed inspection. The debris was removed and discharge completed safely, highlighting final offshore checks.
