Trawler grounded off Trouville-sur-Mer
On Oct 20, 2019, the 'Le Kiff 2 - LH.698113', 49 gt, ran aground at the entrance to the port of Trouville-sur-Mer (Calvados). At 5.15 a.m. the CROSS Jobourg was alerted, and two crews of rescuers, five on the lifeboat 'SNS 264', and three on the 'Jean-Claude Brize', intervened. They tried to refloat the trawler without success because of the ebb tide which left the casualty high and dry. The trawler finally managed to back off with the rising tide and docked in the early afternoon. According to early indications, the grounding is linked to a re-entry alignment error at the port.
