SAFETY ISSUES DIRECTLY CONTRIBUTING TO THE ACCIDENT
• Melbourne Marine Services• The tug skipper and the tow master relied upon 19th Century leadline surveyed charts for the passage of a deep draught vessel outside of a recognised traffic route.
• The passage plan and execution underestimated the effect of tidal stream on the tug and tow.• Surveys
• Depths that are significantly less than charted might exist around the UK coastline. The hazard of the bank was not identified as this was not charted.
