Safety issues have been highlighted by authorities after an incident on-board a BP LNG carrier that seriously injured three crew members off Australia.



Investigators were satisfied with the response of BP Shipping and equipment supplier Davit International, but raised concerns about shipping industry training in the use of some equipment.



The Australian Transport Safety Bureau said the incident on the 155,000-cbm British Sapphire (built 2008) took place when a safety interlock failed to prevent a rescue boat’s wave compensation unit from starting.
