After the accident, all vessels were contacted to check, and revise where necessary, the launching procedures and instructions for their vessel.

Once completed, the instructions were sent to this office for control and monitoring. This process was completed in the middle of April. Instructions concerning deviation from standard operating
procedures are covered in our compliance with 038/01.
