MAIB report: Catastrophic engine failure caused a fire
A catastrophic engine failure caused a fire aboard the 'Kommandor Susan' while its crew was conducting sea trials in the Firth of Forth on Jan 25, 2025, an Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) investigation has found. The ship suffered a "complete power blackout, lost propulsion and started to drift after leaving Leith. The crew heard a "oud bang moments before the ship's fire alarm was activated. It was possible to restore some power after the fire was extinguished and, with help from two tugs, the vessel was able to return to Leith. No-one was injured. The MAIB said among key safety issues it identified was the use of "non-genuine" engine components during a major overhaul in 2019. The engine was rebuilt following the fire using original manufacturer's parts. The MAIB has made no recommendations as a result of its investigation, but had written to the ship's previous owner to highlight the need for the monitoring of all critical maintenance activities.
