Golden Ray and Hoegh Osaka Capsize

There is a thread here on the Hoegh Osaka report:

Hoegh Osaka Incident Report

Lots of problems found on the Hoegh Osaka. A “significant difference” between the actual and estimated cargo weight left it unstable and contributed to the accident, marine investigators found. “Crucially, the assumed distribution of ballast on board bore no resemblance to reality, which resulted in the ship leaving Southampton with a higher centre of gravity than normal.” It’s true but misleading to say that estimates are not done after loading. It also said no stability estimation had…

I don’t know how good the MAIB report was in this case. For example the reports says no evidence of fatigue but I’d be interested to know how the crew managed to stay within work/rest hours given the fact they were at the end of a N. Europe coastwise run and were dealing with a schedule change.

Did the the investigation take the STCW records at face value?

Anyway, with regards to the Golden Ray, likely similar stability issues.
