Summary
Investigation of Hoegh Osaka’s stability loss, flooding and grounding in the Solent. It examines cargo distribution, inaccurate cargo and ballast data, omitted cargo centres of gravity and missing departure stability verification. Independent modelling informed the analysis; cargo shift was most likely consequential. The report also reviews securing arrangements, evacuation and revised operational procedures.
