MFV Lepanto Preliminary Enquiry Report “a Useless Collection of Rubbish”

The long-awaited preliminary enquiry report into the cause of the sinking of the 63-year-old MFV Lepanto on 17 May 2024 has finally been released into the public domain. It is the view of some close to the fishing industry that “it is the most useless collection of 17 pages of rubbish ever seen” which not only lacks detail but is incomplete, full of inconsistencies, and “a complete waste of time”.
