In your recent item about the Marine Accident Investigation Branch report into the grounding of the mv Kaami, there was no reference made to reports that the Kaami's electronic chart system was not the only electronic chart system being used inappropriately that night.
In more than 60 years of involvement in our industry, I have always recognised HM Coastguard as a professional body on which we can rely around the UK coast if/when things go wrong. If that is no longer the case, then our members should be kept aware of the situation.
MAIB Accident Investigation Report 7/2021 refers.
