Summary
Investigation of Highland Pioneer’s collision with the Douglas installation’s DA jack-up rig in Liverpool Bay. It examines unmonitored approach, mistaken belief that speed had reduced, lone watchkeeping and ambiguous traffic-monitoring responsibilities. Radar records establish approach speed; the report discusses possible fatigue and operators’ subsequent procedural changes.
