Summary
Investigation of a collision between the Hercules 203 jack-up rig and Platform C in South Pelto Block 23 during a tug-assisted move. Seabed contact by at least one leg reduced manoeuvrability; the report attributes probable cause to pilot error. Both structures sustained minor damage, and no recurrence recommendations were issued.
