@SeafoodFund @hookmarine We are currently trialling Seawise Stability Monitor on MFV Resolute BM33 out of Brixham.Unit tweaked and calibrated to be bespoke to vessel and so far so good on easy to use and practical solutions 👏👏 A fantastic idea, particularly with all the uncertainty on MCA requirements.

FV SOLWAY HARVESTER

This week, we remember the seven crew of the Solway Harvester, their families and friends.

We pray that such an accident may never happen again. But we must work to ensure that it does not.

We have successfully recovered the wreck of sunken fishing vessel Nicola Faith. The next phase of our investigation will be to establish what events led to the vessel’s capsize, the mechanics of how the vessel sunk and why. #NicolaFaith https://t.co/nu7zrIgrvx

If you fall overboard, a PFD will dramatically increase your chance of survival.

Always wear a PFD on deck. Wear it correctly, according to the instructions. Wearing a PLB is also highly recommended.

Who do you believe? A scumbag who's spent his entire life lying to wives, mistresses, voters, employers & party leaders or a weirdo who won Brexit by sticking a massive lie on a bus & claims he drove 60 miles with his baby son in the back of the car in order to test his eyesight?

Russian trawler from Murmansk capsized and sunk in
northern Barents Sea. 17 of 19 crew feared dead. Heavy build-up of ice aboard in freezing conditions possible cause of capsize. Two rescued by another trawler. “Chances of survival in such conditions described as "poor".#fishing

Not the best way to come home from a fishing trip.

I am looking forward to presenting at the @FisheriesAPPG’s #SafetyatSea event on Tuesday, where I will discuss the importance of vessel #stability monitoring for #fishermen’s safety when out at sea. https://t.co/yMS5YqQH1X

You must buy insurance before you need it.

SeaWise is your insurance against stability loss.

@hjesseseafoods Correct! If the vessel stability is changing then capsize could follow. Monitor stability - fit SeaWise. Keep stable - stay safe.
