The Norwegian-owned longline vessel sank on its way from Port Stanley on the Falkland Islands to the fishing grounds outside South Georgia when the boat went down in a strong storm. 13 of the crew of 27 perished. Nine people survived. None of the crew were Norwegian. The investigation that the British Accident Investigation Board is currently conducting shows that the shell door on the starboard side fell slowly down into the fully open position. This caused significant amounts of water to flow into the boat. British authorities now advise owners, operators and skippers of fishing vessels equipped with side shell doors to urgently ensure appropriate and sufficient risk assessment of watertight integrity, they write in the report. Fiskeribladet reports on the report first. Published 11.10.2024, at 11.12 Updated 11.10.2024, at 11.36
