Recorded interview transcript
LEAD INSPECTOR: State your full name for the record.
UNNAMED FEMALE OPERATIVE — FREYA MARIS: Unnamed female operative — Freya Maris
LEAD INSPECTOR: Do you understand the status of this interview and the limits placed on distribution?
UNNAMED FEMALE OPERATIVE — FREYA MARIS: I understand. My agreement to answer does not waive any objection already entered into the record.
LEAD INSPECTOR: Have you been offered the representation, legal advice or staff support applicable to this procedure?
UNNAMED FEMALE OPERATIVE — FREYA MARIS: I have, and I reserve the right to stop if the questioning moves outside them.
DOCUMENTARY EXHIBIT D-01 Retained extract: From a distance, the Freya Maris looked like any other bulk container ship. Associated persons: Captain Harun Saleh Relevant systems or locations: bridge, North Sea, identity
LEAD INSPECTOR: Do you accept that this extract accurately records an event in which you were involved?
UNNAMED FEMALE OPERATIVE — FREYA MARIS: You are asking for certainty that did not exist on the deck. I can give you the decision and the reason for it. My answer is limited to what I personally saw, heard or ordered.
LEAD INSPECTOR: What did you understand at that moment, before later analysis supplied a larger explanation?
UNNAMED FEMALE OPERATIVE — FREYA MARIS: That is the order as I remember it. The machinery and the later summary are separate questions. The missing interval matters more than the wording placed around it afterwards.
DOCUMENTARY EXHIBIT D-02 Retained extract: The Freya Maris was showing as a vessel named Hannelore, a real ship that was currently docked in Antwerp. Associated persons: Commander Lydia Green, Oskar Novak Relevant systems or locations: AIS, radar, bridge, ballast, MCA
LEAD INSPECTOR: Do you accept that this extract accurately records an event in which you were involved?
UNNAMED FEMALE OPERATIVE — FREYA MARIS: At the time I acted on what the bridge could physically verify, not on what a later system said I ought to have known. The missing interval matters more than the wording placed around it afterwards.
LEAD INSPECTOR: Who else was physically present and capable of confirming your account without relying on the same electronic record?
UNNAMED FEMALE OPERATIVE — FREYA MARIS: At the time I acted on what the bridge could physically verify, not on what a later system said I ought to have known. Commander Lydia Green can confirm the sequence, but not necessarily the interpretation.
LEAD INSPECTOR: Are you saying the official record is wrong?
UNNAMED FEMALE OPERATIVE — FREYA MARIS: I am saying it may be accurate about the event and wrong about the cause.
DOCUMENTARY EXHIBIT D-03 Retained extract: Coastguard Radar Station, East Anglia. “Freya Maris, confirm your heading. Associated persons: Jack — Argus duty officer Relevant systems or locations: radar, identity
LEAD INSPECTOR: Do you accept that this extract accurately records an event in which you were involved?
UNNAMED FEMALE OPERATIVE — FREYA MARIS: You are asking for certainty that did not exist on the deck. I can give you the decision and the reason for it. If the original is no longer available, that absence should remain part of your finding.
LEAD INSPECTOR: Why was the matter not escalated through the ordinary reporting route?
UNNAMED FEMALE OPERATIVE — FREYA MARIS: I accept the event. I do not accept the conclusion you have attached to it. I will not improve my memory to make the chronology easier.
DOCUMENTARY EXHIBIT D-04 Retained extract: Below Deck – Freya Maris Oskar opened the refrigerated container’s side panel with a precise, controlled movement. Relevant systems or locations: AIS
LEAD INSPECTOR: Do you accept that this extract accurately records an event in which you were involved?
UNNAMED FEMALE OPERATIVE — FREYA MARIS: I accept the event. I do not accept the conclusion you have attached to it. Check AIS against the unprocessed record before you accept the later label.
LEAD INSPECTOR: What part of the retained record is incomplete or misleading?
UNNAMED FEMALE OPERATIVE — FREYA MARIS: You are asking for certainty that did not exist on the deck. I can give you the decision and the reason for it. My answer is limited to what I personally saw, heard or ordered.
LEAD INSPECTOR: Are you saying the official record is wrong?
UNNAMED FEMALE OPERATIVE — FREYA MARIS: I am saying two honest records can disagree when they were generated from the same compromised source.
DOCUMENTARY EXHIBIT D-05 Retained extract: Freya Maris – Captain’s Quarters Captain Saleh rubbed at his temple, trying to push away the beginnings of a headache. Associated persons: Captain Harun Saleh Relevant systems or locations: AIS, bridge
LEAD INSPECTOR: Do you accept that this extract accurately records an event in which you were involved?
UNNAMED FEMALE OPERATIVE — FREYA MARIS: That is the order as I remember it. The machinery and the later summary are separate questions. If the original is no longer available, that absence should remain part of your finding.
LEAD INSPECTOR: Which physical record should be examined before this account is treated as settled?
UNNAMED FEMALE OPERATIVE — FREYA MARIS: At the time I acted on what the bridge could physically verify, not on what a later system said I ought to have known. Captain Harun Saleh can confirm the sequence, but not necessarily the interpretation.
DOCUMENTARY EXHIBIT D-06 Retained extract: He tapped SEND. “Let the ghost sail in.” Back on the Freya Maris Oskar’s device chirped again. Associated persons: Commander Lydia Green Relevant systems or locations: MCA, Southampton
LEAD INSPECTOR: Do you accept that this extract accurately records an event in which you were involved?
UNNAMED FEMALE OPERATIVE — FREYA MARIS: That is the order as I remember it. The machinery and the later summary are separate questions. I will not improve my memory to make the chronology easier.
LEAD INSPECTOR: Did anyone instruct you to describe the incident differently afterwards?
UNNAMED FEMALE OPERATIVE — FREYA MARIS: You are asking for certainty that did not exist on the deck. I can give you the decision and the reason for it. I will not improve my memory to make the chronology easier.
LEAD INSPECTOR: Are you saying the official record is wrong?
UNNAMED FEMALE OPERATIVE — FREYA MARIS: I am saying the record should remain evidence, not become an alibi for the system that produced it.
DOCUMENTARY EXHIBIT D-07 Retained extract: A photo of the Freya Maris, or whatever its true name was, loomed in grainy resolution—an anonymous steel coffin floating off the coast of Norfolk. Associated persons: Fiona Ward, Natalie Brooks Relevant systems or locations: AIS, Al Bahr Logistics

UNNAMED FEMALE OPERATIVE — FREYA MARIS: I have withheld attribution, not the physical event.
LEAD INSPECTOR: What is the single next action this investigation should take?
UNNAMED FEMALE OPERATIVE — FREYA MARIS: Compare the surveillance timeline with access, maintenance and movement records before drawing a conclusion.
LEAD INSPECTOR: Do you wish to add or correct anything before the recording is suspended?
