Heavy weather damage

摘要

A fully laden VLCC in our fleet suffered heavy weather damage to lifesaving, fire-fighting and safety equipment as well as deck fittings when she encountered heavy seas caused by an intense Atlantic depression.rnAt the time of the incident, the vessel was passing lle d'Ouessant (Ushant), France, en route for discharge at Rotterdam.rnWind speeds of more than 60kt and sea/swell conditions in excess of 10m caused the vessel to roll heavily and take on large quantities of 'green water'.
