Sudden mechanical failure thought to be behind accident

Mon May 01 23:18:58 CEST 2023 Timsen

A sudden mechanical failure was likely to have been the cause of the 'Pentalina' grounding in Orkney at St. Margaret's Hope. Smoke had been detected in the engine room of the Pentland Ferries vessel beforehand. Emergency services, including lifeboats which took passengers ashore, were called to the scene on April 29 at about 7:30 p.m. after the ferry issued a mayday message. It has since been refloated and berthed at St Margaret's Hope. The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) was assessing the extent of any damage. While the facts haven't been established yet, initial reports from the operator pointed to the cause of the grounding being a sudden mechanical failure. It defended the fact that the ferry had been issued with a passenger ship safety certificate following surveys of the vessel on April 18as at this time the vessel met the standards required for issue of this certificate. MCA surveyors will carry out initial fact-finding to establish the cause and circumstances surrounding the incident. The passengers have now been told they can collect their cars and belongings from the vessel. The Pentalina came back into service on April 26 after time in dry dock to allow another ferry, the 'Alfred', to service other routes to islands on the west coast. There were no reports of injuries and passengers described the rescue operation as calm and professional. Report with photos: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-north-east-orkney-shetland-65441218
