WATCH: Rapid sinking of Irish trawler off Scotland prompts safety recommendations

Several safety recommendations have been issued following an investigation into the rapid sinking of an Irish trawler off Scotland.

Five men on board the 25m Galway-registered Iúda Naofa trawler were saved as the vessel capsized and sank within 40 seconds off the Butt of Lewis, northern Scotland, on January 20, 2015.

A Marine Casualty Investigation Board (MCIB) report found the trawler crew had difficulty operating a portable pump which was winched by a British coast guard helicopter onto their vessel using a hi-line.
