A few observations.

Good call from the Harbor Master ( Havne Sjefen i Bergen) to ordering them to sail clear of the dock before allowing landing.
It may have saved them and any spectators!?
After Customs and Imigration cleared at Flesland,they refueled and took of survival suits AND life-jackets , Brilliant!
Letting a Private pilot with grand total of 290,6 hrs land with a new type rating ( not yet issued) with 16,4hrs on type, for the first time on a ship! Well,,,, Lets quote AIBN: Insufficient risk assessment by the Commander!

Ships Captain not securing tarp, setting out tender boat and no firefighting equipment ready as per the Manual ( Mind you as a private ship he did not have to, but the manual existed )

All well that ends well.
Lesson learned I suppose.
Happy Hover ,Chaps
