Allision of a rigid inflatable boat with a navigation beacon in Portsmouth Harbour, England resulting in two fatalities.
Today, we have published our accident investigation report into the allision of the rigid inflatable boat Peaky Blinder with a navigation beacon in Portsmouth Harbour, England resulting in two fatalities on 14 August 2025.
Chief Inspector of Marine Accidents, Rob Loder, said:
It is well understood that consumption of alcohol results in an elevated risk of having an accident. The introduction of alcohol limits for recreational boaters has been the subject of previous MAIB recommendations. It is to be hoped that action will now be taken, such that fatal accidents in which excessive alcohol consumption is a contributing factor become a thing of the past.
