Incident on the Humber

Sadly yesterday there was a quite serious incident on the Humber in the early hours of the morning involving a pleasure cruiser and a commercial vessel. Exact details of the incident which happened just outside Grimsby Fish Dock off the pier are still very sketchy but the MAIB (Marine Accident Investtigation Board) are investigating the incident so a report will be issued following their investigation.

Thankfully there were vessels in the area and a Port of Grimsby pilot vessel rescued the two crew of cruiser Pegotty  shortly before the vessel floudered and sank.
