I have found this in the Courier Mail:
Maritime Safety Queensland inspectors concluded the Sunshine Coast teenager:
• Most probably dozed off before her vessel hit and was dragged alongside the 63,000-tonne cargo ship.
• Did not turn on a device that would have warned her of a potential collision.
• Could not produce a clear, plotted plan for her journey.
• Had not developed a fatigue management plan.
• Kept a log with "irregular latitude and longitude entries".
At first I thought that she was capable, that she had been trained. But now I have my doubts because her collision was caused by negligence, and I don't believe that Jessica is aware of the danger she faces by not following or lapsing in following basic maritime rules.
After the collision, Premier Anna Bligh said Jessica should continue on, saying "you don't take on a big dream like this and (baulk) at the first hurdle".Read the whole article here.
But The Courier-Mail understands high-ranking government officials were alarmed by the facts of the collision once they became known.
