AMURAS - Very Serious Maritime Casualty

Vessel: AMURAS

GAMA reference: 2026-291

Data da ocorrência acidental: 28-07-2026

Casualty Event: Flooding (massive/progressive)

Summary

 

On 28 July 2026, AMURAS recovered a purse seine heavily entangled with small fish, significantly increasing the weight of the fishing gear. The Master estimated that the net, retained fish and water weighed close to 10 tonnes.

The crew placed water in tubs forward to compensate for the weight concentrated aft. The vessel returned to Figueira da Foz at low speed and berthed apparently upright. Shortly after the crew disembarked, AMURAS developed a rapid heel to port, capsized and sank alongside. Pollution-containment booms were deployed.

 

Safety recommendations

 

SR01-2026/291: Assess raising awareness of the importance of responding to requests for assistance from fishing vessels in an emergency. R

SR02-2026/291: Assess strengthening the capacity to manage heavily entangled fishing gear by identifying options to reduce, divide and safely stow the associated weight. 

 

Lessons learned

 

Stability depends on the quantity, position and movement of weight aboard. Exceptional catches or heavily entangled fishing gear should be reduced, divided and stowed as low and as securely as practicable. Adding water to correct trim can increase displacement, reduce freeboard and introduce free-surface effects. A vessel that appears upright may still have limited stability.
