Mencellor-Easted Ferry Crew ‘Unseen Shining Warning’

Two members of a boat crew ignored the shining warning 10 minutes before a collision, accused of killing three fishermen when their boat drowned from Jersey, prosecutors told a court.

L’Ecume II drowned after a collision with Commodore Goodwill Ferry on 8 December 2022.

Artur Savesh-Z, 35, and Lewis Carr, 30, who were both working by the Condor Ghats at that time, each defeated the fishing boat captain Michael Nausea, 62, and the Filipino Crew member Larry Simune, 33, and Jeritis Baletest, and rejected three cases after the death of 31.

In the initial statement of the prosecution, the Royal Court of Jersey heard “careless action”, in which the Commodore goodwill was the cause of the sea confrontation as there was “enough time” to take action.

Mr. Sevash-Z, a Ukrainian National, and Sri Car, from Sunderland, each also denied the Jersey’s shipping law, which relates to the failure to discharge the duties related to his ship, which causes “loss destruction, death or injury”.

The prosecution told the court that Mr. Sevash-Z and Mr. Carr were experienced by Semename and if they had confronts their work properly and the results never occur.

L’ecume II was moving towards long banks On the north-west coast of Jersey, at 04:15 GMT, “remarkably good for that time of the year”, with visibility, was told to the court.

Local weather reports between 05:00 and 06:00 GMT F2-F3 winds, 0.3m (0.9ft) wave heights, no rain and 45 km (28 mi) visible visibility, the gamblers heard.

Crown Advocate Matthew Maltrite for the prosecution stated that the journey was finished “in the tragedy” with a collision on 05:35 GMT – L’Ecume II was dobbing 19MPH (30kmm/h) about about 19MPH (30kmm/h) about 19MPH (14 km/h) and Commodore goodwill.

The court heard that the Commodore Goodwill was late 35 minutes for Jersey and at full speed “attempts to make lost time”.

Mr. Maltrite told the court that a collision was “so easily deferred” and it was not “a eccentric accident, it was purely the result of human error and negligence”.

He said that “it should not have been a particularly challenging task” near the right sailing situation “.

The prosecution alleges that the cause of the accident was due to the “catalog of failures” from Mr. Carr and Mr. Sevash-Z, no one acts as a proper lookout or does not monitor the status of L’Ecume II, which was the only vessel in the surrounding area.

The court heard that the pair was the only crew on the navigational bridge of the boat when the collision occurred and Mr. Carr was the most senior person in charge due to the compulsory rest for the captain.

The prosecution stated that the Commodore Goodwill had “excellent” views of the Gulf with a lookout of 360 degrees.

Mr. Malitroit stated that the boat was fitted with three radar systems “to detect nearby objects and dangers”.

The collision warning was shining 10 minutes before the collision and “there was enough time for the defendants to do something”, Mr. Malatroit told the court, but was working on “non-essential” tasks before the arrival of Ferry in the defendant jersey.

“Prior to the effect” action was taken, he said.

Although there is no speed range in the sea, Mr. Maltrite told the gamblers that there was a “obligation” to keep a safe speed and distance from other ships to ensure enough time to prevent the collision.

The prosecution stated that “no attempt was made to reduce the speed of goodwill” because it hits L’Ecume II at a full speed of 18 knots (19mph/30 km/h).

The ongoing test in the government of Jersey Parade Studios is expected to last for four weeks.

The presiding Judge, Commissioner Sir John Saunders was sworn in a jury of 14 people on Monday morning, stating that only 12 needed to give a decision, but the length of the test meant that some contingency was important.
