Let me express my condolences to the family and friends of the 3 men who died.

Solent coastguard are currently reviewing the AIS logs and black box of the Pride of Bilbao to determine what exactly happened.

This suggests that the ferry 'Pride of Bilbao' is confirmed as the likely vessel in collision with the Sailfish 25. Heavens, you rather expect ferries to be keeping a good lookout, and they are covered in lights. We'll have to wait for the enquiry findings.

PBO (UK publication) November edition reported that a second person had been arrested.

Scary.
