Neither the captain nor the pilot noticed that the cargo ship Misje Verde had hit anything. The captain believes that the pilot is responsible for the accident, while he himself has general responsibility for what happens on the ship, he says at the trial over the accident outside Tjörn. He is being released from custody pending the verdict.
SwedenThe pilot and the captain blame each other after the fatal accident off Tjörn. The captain had been asked to sit at the computer to do administrative work and says he understood that the pilot had taken over responsibility. "Then he has quite seriously misunderstood his role as officer on duty," the pilot says in questioning.
SwedenBoth pleasure boats were clearly visible on the cargo ship's radar before the serious boat accident off Tjörn in July, according to the Swedish Accident Investigation Board. According to the commission, the other pleasure boat was also passed at close range.
