If the master ends up in court on a charge of manslaughter due to fatigue, I sincerely hope the shop manager is in the dock alongside him. Fatigue is a known issue on short sea vessels, as is flogging rest period records. The ship manager either turned a blind eye, which makes him complicit, or didn’t check, which makes him negligent. The knee jerk reaction of criminalising only the master has got to stop. Only when managers and superintendents are also criminalised will crews be treated better and allowed better conditions.

Chose that spot for security reasons

I beg to differ, driving a car is way harder, surrounded by thousands of barely capable drivers coming at you from all directions at speeds of up to 80 knots, no AIS information available, no radar, no vhf to ask them what their intentions are and that’s why there are hundreds of road fatalities every year around the world vs a few on the sea. I can sail out of Singapore next port Rotterdam and change course or speed just a handful of times (via cape) and avoid a handful of obstacles but I can’t drive from house to supermarket without hundreds of changes to course and speed and avoidance of hundreds of obstacles. Let’s not over complicate this collision, cntr vessel was not keeping a good lookout.

I noticed AJ using an openend wrench to run in a bolt at 19:46. I used aockets myself.

The Humber is always busy many ships anchor out at sea so they don't have docking fees to pay

Good insights.

Thanks for the update. I would imagine AIS alarms would have been going off quite often on both ships in the hour before the collision. Radar can be hard to interpret in a cluttered environment. Looking forward to more details. Aside – did that safe get opened on the Bayesian ?

What strikes me as odd here is that both ships were transmitting their GPS position in real time: anyone in the world can pick up this information on a smartphone app! It should be trivial to implement automated collision warning or even collision prevention systems given this information. Either ships can pick up the transponders of other ships around them and predict potential collisions, or authorities in congested waters can do this for all the traffic in their area and radio instructions to ships sailing into danger. Are there no systems similar to ACAS/TCAS in aviation for shipping? If not, why not?

i believe tech makes people lazy and too reliant on screens rather than thinking for selves

One has to wonder about the navigation and watch keeping on the SOLONG. As you point out the SOLONG was on a regular trip between Rotterdam and Grangemouth. From what I have seen She had followed pretty much the same track, in that areas on roughly NNW/SSE direction, over a spread of 500 m or so with the Collision point pretty much in the middle of that spread. I suspect she was going from way point to way point under autopilot, with the same waypoints used each trip.

I have spent 50 years dealing with Marine Insurance Claims, including collisions, and little would surprise me about what went wrong.
