Trawler involved in triple allision
On Dec 18 at 9.30 p.m., the trawler 'Le Précurseur' (IMO: 9224063), while operating in the Loubet basin in Boulogne-sur-Mer, allided with the trawlers “La Frégate” (IMO: 9417593) and 'Saint-Jacques' (IMO: 9199866), which was moored nearby. The 'La Frégate', a trawler operated by the Étaples Maritime Cooperative (CME), was preparing to head out to sea, and skipper Donovan Leprêtre along with the crew was checking the trawls. The 'Le Précurseur' was navigating towards the lock when it tried to avoid the trawler 'Arc-en-Ciel', which was approaching from the opposite direction, and accelerated to go around the' Arc-en-Ciel'. It first grazed it and then allided with both trawlers at the dock. The 'La Frégate' was pushed against the quay, and the bow was pushed in. After the incident, tensions rose between the ship owners, requiring a police intervention. After inspections, the 'La Frégate' received authorisation to return to sea, but the vessel will need repairs, which were expected to take between three weeks and a month The case is now in the hands of the insurers, who will have to determine liability and compensation for each party.
