flag Irish trawler Excel nearly collides with oil tanker Petrel Pacific due to poor lookout practices in Irish Sea.

flag An Irish trawler, Excel, narrowly avoided colliding with a Singapore-registered oil tanker, Petrel Pacific, in the Irish Sea in August 2023. flag The Marine Casualty Investigation Board (MCIB) found that both vessels had "wholly inadequate" look-outs, leading to a loss of situational awareness and making a collision almost inevitable. flag The trawler's skipper increased speed just before the incident, and the tanker's officer was distracted by paperwork. flag The MCIB recommended safety measures and risk assessments for the trawler's owner.
