30 injuries on Manx-flagged ships last year

The Isle of Man Ship Registry says 30 people were injured in incidents aboard Manx-flagged vessels last year.

The registry has released its annual report for the last 12 months, providing a glimpse into the work it does with the 425 ships on the register.

In the document, the registry says last year there were no deaths aboard vessels flying the Manx flag.

However, 14 people were seriously injured and another 16 received minor injuries during incidents - and the register says its staff carried out six on-board safety checks following mishaps such as collisions.
