Summary
Investigation of Antonis striking a swing-bridge counterweight while manoeuvring stern-first through Liverpool’s dock system with tug assistance. Wind-driven stern drift led to hull damage and about 330 tonnes of fuel oil entering the docks. The report examines pilotage constraints, unrecognised bridge hazards, deficient risk assessment and planned protective measures.
