Skipper charged over collision at Carlingford Lough

At a hearing on Apr 20, 2015, in the County Court Division of South Down, Lindsay Haugh, the skipper of the "Onward - N336" was fined a total of £2,500 plus costs of £231 after pleading guilty for failing to keep a proper lookout. On Sep 12, 2014, at approximately midnight the fishing vessel was heading back from fishing grounds in thick fog to its home port of Killkeel when it collided with the "Clipper Pennant". The Seatruck Ferries vessel was at anchor off Carlingford Lough, Northern Ireland. Lindsay Haugh, aged 44, from Killkeel pleaded guilty to unlawful conduct endangering ships, structures or individuals off Carlingford Lough, contrary to section 58 of the Merchant Shipping Act 1995, in that he omitted to monitor the recognised VHF channels, omitted to view radar in reduced visibility and omitted to keep a proper look out and as such omissions were deliberate or amounted to a breach, or neglect of duty.
