Summary

Investigation of two collisions between Reno and Ocean Rose off Whitby examines absent bridge watchkeeping, conflicting witness accounts and navigational records. It analyses subsequent manoeuvring, flooding and inadequate emergency coordination. Recommendations emphasise realistic drills involving all relevant personnel; the nature and damage of the second contact remain uncertain.
