Maritime Questions › Safety & Emergency
You skipper a small prawn trawler. Over several years you've fitted a Kort nozzle, moved the catch tanks to the upper deck, and just replaced a 700kg crane with a 1,500kg crane. No single change felt like a big deal at the time. What does MAIB's finding on Nancy Glen say you should have done?
A. Nothing extra — each change was minor and routine maintenance doesn't need a formal review
B. Sought a stability reassessment after each modification that changed the vessel's weight or its distribution, regardless of whether it was legally required
C. Only reassessed stability if the vessel later showed visible signs of being tender
D. Relied on the vessel's original build certificate, since it covers the hull regardless of later changes
