The UK Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) published its report into the March 4, 2021 incident this week.
The incident occurred when a davit interlock device failed during a lifeboat drill off the Isle of Mull in Scotland, causing the research vessel’s port lifeboat to fall into the water with three crew members on board. After falling from the davit onto the ship’s deck, the lifeboat was dragged over the side by the moving davit arms before detaching from its hooks.

Lifeboat air cylinder explosion on an empty installation
What happened
An air bottle exploded on a lifeboat causing significant damage. The damage was discovered during a periodic inspection of an offshore platform which had been shut-in and had no crew on board. As the damage occurred on an uncrewed installation, there were no injuries or fatalities, but also no witnesses to the event or an exact date/time when it occurred.
The affected lifeboat was removed and taken ashore for further inspection. One of the bottles had exploded with a good portion of it propelling upward through the centreline seating structure and embedded itself into the overhead of the lifeboat. One bottle fell to the sea through the hole created in the hull of the boat and one bottle remained intact.#IMCA #Lifeboat #AirCylinder #Explosion
