The radio communications signals used during these manoeuvres were repeatedly attenuated by the tanker’s steel structure, which is within the line of sight between the bridge of the vessel and the FPM, located at sea level. This caused the radio signal to break down, affecting communications between the bridge and vessel crew. To provide uninterrupted communications between the bridge and …
