The pilot and the captain blame each other after the fatal accident outside Tjörn. The captain was asked to sit down at the computer for administration and perceived that the pilot had taken over responsibility. "Then he has quite seriously misunderstood his role as officer on watch," the pilot states in questioning.
On Friday, the captain and pilot of the cargo ship that ran over a pleasure boat off Tjörn in July were charged. The preliminary investigation contains several new details, including that the pleasure boat was clearly visible on the ship's radar.
The prosecutor has today filed charges against the master of the Norwegian cargo ship Misje Verde, and the pilot who was assigned to pilot the cargo ship. They are suspected of causing death, causing bodily harm and negligence in maritime traffic.
