Submarine snagged trawler
More vigilance is needed by submarine crews during manoeuvres where fishing boats operate.
That's the view of Captain Steve Carter, Isle of Man harbour pilot, who has many years experience working in the Irish Sea.
It follows news the UK Ministry of Defence has admitted one of its submarines snagged an Irish trawler's nets in Manx waters in April.
Captain Carter says submariners are trained to avoid surface vessels - but that doesn't mean accidents can't happen:
Temporary ambulance station established at Castletown Coastguard Station
Ambulance cover in the south to be maintained following station fire
Owners advised to keep pets out of river
A number of fish have been found dead in the river near Poulsom Park
Nearly £165k spent on AI subscriptions
Over 3,400 licences have been bought since 2024
Investigation underway into fire station blaze
At the height of the incident nine fire appliances were on scene
