Capsize of the Bourbon Dolphin

Following the capsize of the  anchor handling tug supply vessel BOURBON DOLPHIN, while conducting deep water anchor handling operations to the west of Shetland in April 2007, a commission of inquiry was established in Norway. The report and its findings will be of interest to naval architects. In particular, those involved in the design, construction and operation of anchor handling vessels, and in the planning of anchor handling operations.

The inquiry report is available at http://www.regjeringen.no/en/dep/jd/Press-Center/pressemeldinger/2008/report-on-the-loss-of-the-bourbon-dolphi.html?id=505100.
