Gas Bottle Usage and Maintenance Incident: Master's Limited Knowledge

As the Master had only joined the vessel one month ago, his knowledge about the maintenance and usage of Gas bottles was limited. According to his understanding, the acetylene had been completely consumed prior to the accident. The Oxygen bottle had been utilized by the repair team on August 29th when they were repairing the ship on the shore. After its use, the Oxygen bottle was promptly returned to the cage located aft of the engine room.
