Summary
During vessel mobilization the boat cradle had to be shifted from centre of the main deck towards the starboard side closer to the accommodation. The Main Crane was used for this lift and the Provisions Crane was parked in standby facing aft. While slewing the Main Crane to starboard, the Main Crane jib crane came into contact with the jib on the Provisions Crane. The Provisions crane was inspected after impact and mechanical damage was found on the slewing gear and pinion gear.
