Report into death of Ingun skipper published by Accident Investigation Board Norway
The Accident Investigation Board Norway has released its report after the sole fisherman aboard the f/v 'Ingun' (MMSI: 257197520) died in the Laksefjord in Finnmark on the night of Feb 21, 2025,. The "Reidar von Koss" contributed to the rescue operation that was launched and picked up the life raft that had detached itself from the boat and the emergency beacon that was still sending out a distress signal. The Main Rescue Center (HRS) discovered a deceased person in the Laksefjord after it received a distress signal at 01.45 a.m. from the emergency beacon of the 'Ingun', which had run aground on Ytre Henrikholmen and sunk. The report indicated that the fisherman was setting crab traps when he fell overboard at one point. The vessel continued on an unchanged course and speed for almost two hours before it grounded and sank.The emergency beacon mounted on the wheelhouse roof was activated when the vessel sank, and a rescue operation was launched. The fisherman was found dead just over four hours after he fell overboard. The Accident Investigation Board Norway could not say for sure how the fisherman fell overboard, but the investigation has shown that the accident most likely occurred in connection with setting a fishing line. The Commission referred to previous investigations it has conducted, which have shown that the risk of falling overboard is high when setting and hauling. The Commission pointed out that as a lone fisherman it is crucial to be notified about a distress, as well as the position, as early as possible. This, combined with the use of properly adapted flotation equipment and clothing that delays cooling, can contribute to the probability of survival after falling overboard increasing considerably, the Commission points out. No recommendations were made as a result of the investigation into the accident. However, the Commission referred to the Norwegian Maritime Authority's action plan in connection with the zero vision, which proposes several measures for, among other things, smaller fishing vessels. Some of these measures are particularly relevant in relation to the accident with the 'Ingun'. The 'Ingun' was a fishing vessel of the Grimsøy 26 type and was built in 1980. The vessel was rigged for fishing with fishing rods, but there were also possibilities for fishing with jigs and lines. https://www.fiskeribladet.no/hendelser/fartoyet-fortsatte-med-uendret-kurs-og-fart-i-nar-to-timer-for-det-forliste/2-1-1923405
