FacebookTwitterEmailLinkedin UK MAIB has issued an investigation report regarding an incident where a diesel generator engine failure caused a fire and total power loss during sea trials in the Firth of Forth. At 1305 on 25 January 2025, a site investigation vessel suffered a catastrophic failure of a diesel generator engine while conducting sea trials in the Firth of Forth, Scotland. The failure resulted in an engine room fire and a complete power blackout. The crew responded promptly, extinguished the fire and mustered safely. The vessel lost propulsion and began drifting eastwards. Attempts to deploy anchors were unsuccessful because the anchor winches required electrical power to operate. The vessel was eventually returned to Leith harbour with limited propulsion restored.
