Two injured in work accident
A Latvian crew member of the 'Margriet - KW36' and another man were injured in the evening of Jan 23, 2020, about nine nautical miles off the coast of IJmuiden when he was hit by fishing nets on board. A KNRM boat was alerted by the Coast Guard around 6.30 p.m. While the cutter set course for IJmuiden, the KRNM lifeboat headed towards the cutter. Once on board it turned out that one of the crew members had trouble breathing and had trouble with his ribs after the gear had hit him. Another man had a head injury and a broken arm. After arriving in the fishing port of IJmuiden at 7.45 p.m., he was taken to the hospital by ambulance. His colleague was checked, but did not have to go to the hospital and was allowed to stay on board.

MAIB-Report: Trawler watchkeeper was not keeping proper lookout in collision
The UK Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) issued the report of its investigation of the collision between the chemical tanker "Orakai" and the "Margriet" in the North Sea on 21 December 2014 in gale force winds. The tanker was transiting on autopilot on a course of 220° and a speed of 10.5 knots. The trawler was ahead of the tanker on a similar course, but at a speed of five knots. On the tanker, the officer of the watch went below on an errand, telling the ordinary seaman serving as lookout to call him if they got within a mile of the trawler. On the trawler, the officer of the watch was totally unaware of the presence of the tanker aft. The trawler changed course, making a collision highly likely. The lookout on the tanker tried to call the officer of the watch, but without success. The vessels collided, causing serious damage to the trawler, which spilled eight tons of diesel fuel. The tanker incurred minor damage. The MAIB investigation identified that the "Margriets"’s wheelhouse watchkeeper was not keeping an effective lookout. He had not seen the tanker, which was only one nautical mile away when he altered course towards it. The investigation also identified that "Orakai"’s officer of the watch had gone to the cargo control room 22 minutes before the collision and the bridge lookout was unable to alert him to the trawler’s proximity. It is unlikely that the collision would have occurred had "Orakai"’s officer of the watch remained on the bridge. Since the accident, South End Tanker Management B.V., "Orakai"’s ship manager, has taken action to highlight the circumstances of this accident to its crews and to improve the effectiveness of its safety management system.Recommendations have been made to South End Tanker Management B.V., the manager of ORAKAI and to Kafish B.V., the owner of the "Margriet", which are aimed at raising the standard of navigational watchkeeping practices on board their vessels.
