UK fishing trawler Njord capsized in 2022, killing one crew member due to instability and large catch.

The Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) has detailed how the UK-registered fishing trawler Njord capsized 150 miles northeast of Peterhead, Scotland, in March 2022, leading to one crew member's death. The report found that an unusually large catch, modifications that reduced the vessel's stability, and crew members not wearing life jackets contributed to the tragedy. The MAIB noted that the modifications, made without formal notification, played a key role in the sinking.
