Shortly after separating from the other vessels, the Mistral collided with the deck barge Packmore 4000 under tow by the tug Tiger Shaman.

Brackets for portable navigation lights are located at the extreme ends of each bulwark at a height of approximately 1.5 m above deck. A portable hopper/cargo handling boom was located on the main deck aft"
