Summary
The PSA investigates Sjoborg’s collision with Statfjord A during cargo discharge. Reduced thruster power led to loss of position, damage to lifeboat arrangements and personnel evacuation. The report examines technical faults, alarm interpretation, compliance with activity-specific operating guidelines and bulk hose handling, using interviews, inspections and supplied documentation rather than independent technical testing.
