The incident A fully laden tanker was making a berthing approach under pilotage in clear weather, light winds and in daylight. The Master, Chief Mate and a helmsman were all on the bridge. The bridge team and pilot were all very familiar with this berth. The initial Master/Pilot Exchange (MPX), more than three hours prior to the berthing manoeuvre, was interrupted by radio traffic and somewhat perfunctory, probably due to this familiarity. The MPX did not include details of the final turn and approach to the berth. None of the bridge team were assigned tasks by the pilot to assist the manoeuvre, nor did they assume tasks and report to the pilot.
