Preliminary findings from an initial investigation by the Danish Maritime Authority (DMA) provide new details about the sequence of events that led to the collision involving Fred. Olsen Windcarrier’s wind turbine installation vessel (WTIV) Brave Tern in the Port of Esbjerg earlier this month.

It is worth noting that the DMA’s findings follow an unannounced survey conducted shortly after the incident and do not represent the conclusions of the investigation, which is still ongoing at the Danish Maritime Accident Investigation Board, an independent accident investigation authority.
