5. The use of the oversized bowsing tackle ropes identified in Palermo compromised<br />
safety because they jammed in the bowsing blocks and did not allow the rope to be<br />
properly secured to the bitts. Despite the master’s instruction to change them, it was<br />
not fully implemented. [2.4.4]<br />
6. The amount of refit work undertaken by contractors on the passage to Southampton<br />

impacted on the availability of the crew for training and the quality of the training.<br />
[2.6.2], [2.6.3], [2.6.4]<br />
7. The delays in the refit completion date and the late delivery of the overweight<br />
lifeboats to the ship resulted in multiple changes to the muster/emergency plan,<br />
which had a negative effect on training continuity because of changing training<br />
needs. [ 2.6.3], [2.6.7]
