Summary
Investigation of anchor-induced hull damage and flooding aboard Floatel Superior on the Njord field. It examines bolster strength, fatigue, anchor restraint, winch behaviour, alarm failures and damaged-stability calculations. Physical damage reconstruction, biological dating and causal analyses support findings, alongside assessment of watertight protection and helicopter evacuation.
