Abstract
At 11:49 native time on the stated date, the pair trawlers Guiding Mild and Guiding Star collided throughout a routine fish switch. Guiding Star’s stern was breached and flooded. The crew unsuccessfully tried to pump out the floodwater, and the vessel foundered about an hour later.
The eight crew evacuated to a liferaft, which capsized through the accident; 5 had been recovered to Guiding Mild and the remaining three had been winched to a coastguard rescue helicopter. All crew survived unhurt.
