Britain's Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) has warned that it will prosecute seafarers whose poor seamanship leads to accidents.
It issued its warning after a UK court found the watch officer of a chemicals tanker involved in a fatal collision guilty of manslaughter and sentenced him to a year in jail. The MCA said the standard of second officer Brian Roberts' watch-keeping had fallen "so far below the level required" that the collision had been inevitable.
His ship, Dutch Aquamarine, ran into the stern of a smaller cargo vessel, the Ash, while travelling on the same course in the English Channel. According to a report by the UK's Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB), although the weather had been fine and visibility good, Mr. Roberts did not notice the Ash until it was dead ahead1 and very close.
The cargo vessel's crew took to the water; five survived but the master was found to be dead on arrival in hospital. The MAIB blamed the accident on heavy congestion in the Dover Straits and slack watch keeping.
