Report: Fisherman warned crew of rocks

The crew of the 'Kaami' was warned by a fishing boat they were headed for rocks minutes before the vessel ran aground on Sgeir Graidach in the Little Minch between the isles of Skye and Lewis on March 23, 2020. The Marine Accident Investigation Branch in its report stated that the crew's planning for the voyage had not identified the rocks as a risk. The 'Kaami' was passing through the Little Minch while on passage from Drogheda in Ireland to Slite in Sweden, carrying pellets of a fuel made from waste. A watchkeeper of a local fishing vessel warned the Kaami on a very high frequency radio channel it was headed towards a submerged ridge of rocks. The ship ran aground at about 01:40 a.m. Full report: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/60acb4bd8fa8f520bde56d16/2021-07-Kaami.pdf
