Summary
Berit grounded off Gedser after the second officer missed a planned course alteration. The investigation examines distraction, absent night lookouts, passive electronic chart use and weaknesses in safety management. The reported text-messaging explanation remained unproven. Managers were recommended to review navigational practices, ECS training and personal electronic equipment use.
