An inquiry into the recent sinking of the anchor-handling vessel Bourbon Dolphin off Shetland commenced today in Alesund, Norway. The first mate gave evidence today. He is the sole survivor who was on the bridge at the time of the capsizing, in which 8 crew members died, including a father and son.
According to the survivor, Geir Syversen, there appeared to be communication difficulties with another anchor-handling ship, the Highland Valour. More details here.
My picture of the other vessel involved, the Highland Valour, has drawn a lot of attention, 134 hits in the shipspotting website.
