An investigation into the grounding of the 47,427-gross-ton Horizon (built 1990) outside Stavanger in Norway in July last year has found that the ship had swung its bow out too early after departing the berth
According to a report by Transport Malta, where the ship was registered, the navigational blunder came despite the fact the bridge was crewed in excess of the required numbers, with an outgoing and incoming master ready to swap positions, and a pilot.
