Summary
An MMS investigation examines a diver’s injury during a basket lift between a motor vessel and a lift boat. Vessel drift left the basket off-centre; it struck the deck after the diver boarded. The report identifies rough seas and boarding the basket as probable causes and records a hairline fracture and restricted duties.
