Quite often in your publications you mention the poor standard of navigational watch keeping and the resulting costs involved to underwriters when something goes wrong; you are perfectly correct. Please have a look at the attached photographs, taken from a BP operated offshore platform in the Java Sea. The vessel is only 5 meters from the platform and traveling at full speed, the result of any contact could have been catastrophic – fire and explosion, multiple fatalities and probably a major gas release, plus disruption of gas supply and consequently power supply to Jakarta!
