TANNHAUSER

Casualty

Walid Gomaa, 467, a failed asylum seeker drowned on April 28, 2025, after he attempted to jump onto the ramp of the 'Tannhauser' at the Southampton docks in a bid to get to Canada, an inquest heard. The man was denied asylum status when he arrived in the UK in 2021. He told a friend that he intended to travel across the Atlantic, having lived illegally in the UK for four years. The Egyptian national was spotted by members of the crew of the 'Tannhauser', attempting to reach the ramp's articulated extensions at the end of the vessel, as it was being raised ahead of sailing, the Winchester inquest was told. The operator paused the raising and saw Gomaa walk away, but as they started lifting up the ramp again, he ran and jumped towards the ramp despite a crew member of the ship, which was due to set sail to Halifax, shouting at him to stop. Gomaa then hit his head and fell into the sea at the Empress Dock at the Queen Elizabeth II Terminal, where he drowned before a rescue boat could reach him. Gomaa came to the UK in 2021 and was not given status in this country and disappeared for a period of time. He initially claimed asylum, but that was denied in 2021, and it was not until April 2025 that Gomaa was heard of again.

MAERSK GIRONDE

Casualty

On Aug 4, 2025, at 10.20 p.m. the 'Maersk Gironde', en route from Wilhelmshaven to Gdansk, was in collision with the vehicles carrier 'SFL Composer' (IMO: 9293583), which was coming from Emden, at the entrance to the deep-water route at Hatter Barn. Both ships sustained damage above the waterline. Diving investigations were carried out to determine whether there was also damage below the waterline. Both ships have been detained by the Danish Maritime Authority. The 'SFL Composer' was anchored just northwest of Sejerø, close to the position where the collision occurred, while the 'Maersk Gironde' dropped anchor north of Fyns Hoved in pos. 55° 42' N 010° 45' E, where it remained stationary as of Aug 6. The Danish Maritime Authority has inspected the damage during the night and again on the morning of Aug 5. The 'SFL Composer' was taken in tow by the two Svitzer tugs 'Svitzer Edda' (IMO: 9898929) and 'Trym' (IMO: 9342724) to the Fayard Shipyard (the former Lindø Skibsværft) in the Odense Fjord for an inspections. On the foremidday of Aug 6, it dropped anchor in pos. 55° 35' N 010° 33' E.

VIKING GLORY

Casualty

A 29-year-old man has been convicted of attempted sabotage after starting a fire aboard the 'Viking Glory' in Dec 2024, when the ferry was at sea with over 1000 people on board. The man set fire to a garbage can inside a closed restaurant. The incident was caught on surveillance video and discovered by staff after it began to smell burnt. The fire went out on its own before it could spread, but the Åland District Courtcourt found that the act was likely to cause a general danger to life and health. “It was more likely a coincidence that there was not so much flammable material in the garbage can that the fire went out on its own. Despite the fact that fire surveillance rounds are carried out on a regular basis, a fire could have taken hold between rounds,” thecourt wrote in the verdict. The man was arrested later that night by staff on board. During the trial, he admitted the crime but said he did not remember the incident because he was heavily intoxicated. He was on board the ship for a Christmas party. The Åland District Court sentenced the man to six months of suspended imprisonment. He must also pay a victim surcharge and reimburse the state for the costs of a witness examination.

POLAR PRINCE

Casualty

The U.S. Coast Guard Marine Board of Investigation (MBI) has released its Report of Investigation (ROI) on Aug 5 on the loss of the submersible 'Titan', which imploded during a June 2023 dive to the wreck of the 'Titanic', killing five people, after having been deployed from the 'Polar Prince' on June 18, 2023. The more than 300-page ROI outlines key findings and contributing factors in the casualty and includes 17 safety recommendations aimed at strengthening oversight of submersible operations, improving coordination among federal agencies and closing gaps in international maritime policy. The two-year investigation has identified multiple contributing factors that led to this tragedy, providing valuable lessons learned to prevent a future occurrence. There is a need for stronger oversight and clear options for operators who are exploring new concepts outside of the existing regulatory framework. The board determined the primary contributing factors were OceanGate’s inadequate design, certification, maintenance and inspection process for the Titan. Other factors cited in the report include a toxic workplace culture at OceanGate, an inadequate domestic and international regulatory framework for submersible operations and vessels of novel design, and an ineffective whistleblower process under the Seaman’s Protection Act. The board also found OceanGate failed to properly investigate and address known hull anomalies following its 2022 Titanic expedition. Investigators determined the Titan’s real-time monitoring system generated data that should have been analyzed and acted on during the 2022 'Titanic' expedition. However, OceanGate did not take any action related to the data, conduct any preventative maintenance or properly store the Titan during the extended off season before its 2023 'Titanic' expedition. The MBI recommendations included restricting the Oceanographic Research Vessel designations for submersibles, expanding federal and international requirements to all submersibles conducting scientific or commercial dives and requiring Coast Guard documentation for all U.S. submersibles. The board also recommended adding Coast Guard personnel capacity at Coast Guard Headquarters to support new construction oversight and field inspections involving submersibles and vessels of novel design. Further recommendations included requiring operators to submit dive and emergency response plans to the local Coast Guard officer in charge, marine inspection; evaluating the Coast Guard’s subsea search and rescue capabilities; and working with the International Maritime Organization to define passenger submersibles and expand international safety requirements for submersibles operating on the high seas. The board also called for a new Occupational Safety and Health Administration and Coast Guard agreement to clarify whistleblower investigative protocols and improve interagency coordination. The Marine Board's report is now under review by the Commandant of the Coast Guard. Upon completion of the review, the Commandant will issue a Final Action Memorandum confirming the U.S. Coast Guard's position on the recommendations and any actions to be pursued.
