Second Officer - Military Sealift Command - Norfolk, VA

A Ukrainian Second Officer has been charged with negligent navigation under Norway's Ship Safety and Security Act after the containership NCL Salten ran aground near Trondheim on Thursday. The officer, in his thirties, admitted to falling asleep while alone on watch. The 135-meter vessel came to rest just seven meters from a residential cabin in Byneset, with all 16 crew members escaping injury. Investigators are examining whether bridge manning requirements and working and rest hour regulations were met.
