CASE 13<br />
The master thought that the vibration had<br />
been the result of the vessel’s propeller or<br />
rudder picking up some fishing pots, and<br />
instructed the OOW to look astern. Nothing<br />
was seen. No alarms sounded on the bridge<br />
or in the engine control room and the ship<br />
responded normally to wheel and engine<br />
orders as the propellers and rudders had not<br />
been struck. The crew took no immediate<br />
action to identify or assess for damage and<br />
the vessel proceeded to its berth as planned.<br />
A subsequent, pre-planned dive survey soon<br />
found the hull damage.<br />
