UK Marine News MAIB Safety Digest 2/2023 October published
The Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) examines and investigates all types of marine accidents to or on-board UK flagged vessels worldwide, and other vessels in UK territorial waters. This Safety Digest, the second edition of 2023, is a compendium of anonymous articles involving vessels from the merchant, fishing and small craft sector which draws the attention of the marine community to some of the lessons arising from investigations into recent accidents and incidents.
In his introduction, Andrew Moll, Chief Inspector, says, “Welcome to the second MAIB Safety Digest of 2023. I will start by thanking Simon Graves, Duncan Murt and Andy Murray for their respective introductions to the merchant, fishing and recreational sections of this edition; their expertise is self-evident, and their industry insights to safety help bring contemporary context to the cautionary tales in the following pages. I hope you will find time to read the whole edition – there is something here for every mariner – but please do read the section introductions. And, when you have finished, please pass the digest on so others can benefit too.”

UK marina group makes switch to HVO Premier Marinas has announced that it has become the
first UK marina group to make the switch to using HVO fuel in boatyard plant machinery and equipment. HVO is a low carbon drop-in diesel replacement fuel made from 100% renewable waste, residue, and vegetable oils. It can be used across a range of applications and industries and is fast becoming a major player in helping achieve the UK’s net-zero goals.

Cockwells creates second tender for Malahne
Cockwells Modern & Classic Boatbuilding in the UK has created a second tender for Malahne, the 50m classic motoryacht built by Camper & Nicholsons in 1937 in the Art Deco style. Malahne not only participated in the evacuation of Dunkirk during World War II but also served as the production headquarters for the Hollywood blockbuster, Lawrence of Arabia, and hosted many film stars aboard at the time.
Maintaining the classic, opulent finish of the first tender for Malahne that Cockwells built to complement the mothership in 2016, this new vessel, with her cold-moulded construction for the hull and deck, clad with varnished Brazilian mahogany, and helm console trimmed with quilted maple veneer, strikes the perfect balance between classical elegance and enhanced engineering to provide outstanding performance for modern leisure.
Premier Marinas has been trialling this fossil-free alternative to diesel in their 25-tonne WISE boat hoist and 15-tonne boat mover at their Southsea Marina for over 12 months. Gosport Marina’s specialist boatyard Endeavour Quay has also seen successful trials of HVO on its 180-tonne WISE travel hoist, 40-tonne Alto self- propelled boat mover, 40-tonne Terex mobile crane, New Holland tractor and three forklifts.
Each Premier Marina has a full-service boatyard facility and now, Premier is rolling out HVO usage across its 10 South Coast marinas, having invested in new dedicated fuel infrastructure to support the roll-out in all plant machinery and equipment.
