Investigation annexes trace Pride of Kent’s manoeuvring from a berth through contact and grounding. The chronology records reduced port-engine shaft speed, loss of a bow thruster, transfer of steering control and rudder synchronisation. A separate annex presents wind speed and direction using the ship’s anemometer data.
