Rport into grounding of trawler published
In May 2026, the MAIB has released its report into the grounding of the 'Crystal Stream - LH147' on June 6, 2025, at 12.06 a.m. The report found fatigue, lone watchkeeping and poor safety management behind the accident off Barmore Island, Loch Fyne. Following the accident. the skipper beached the vessel on the rocky shore on the south‑west side of the island, where the crew abandoned to a liferaft. There were no efforts made to salvage the 'Crystal Stream', and it was eventually declared a constructive total loss. The vessel was later broken up and removed from the site. The investigation found that: • The skipper, who was alone in the wheelhouse at the time of the accident, had fallen asleep. • It was highly likely the skipper was severely fatigued due to a sleep debt accumulated in the period before the accident. • The risks associated with lone navigational watchkeeping had not been identified in on board risk assessments. • The vessel’s safety management was inadequate, failing to address key operational areas such as navigational practices, risk assessments, on board safety, crew induction and crew work and rest hours. • A lack of regular drills led to unfamiliarity with emergency procedures. A recommendation has been made to Crystal Stream’s owner, M & I MacKinnon Ltd, to improve safety management on its vessels.
