Amphibious ship stuck in Portsmouth due to a failure to meet minimum safety standards

Tue Jul 29 11:59:11 CEST 2025 Timsen

The RFA 'Argus' is currently stuck at the Portsmouth naval base and was banned from sailing until a number of identified defects have been rectified. The 'Argus' arrived in the Navy’s port on JKune 8, 2025, and cannot sail to Falmouth in Cornwall for repairs because her safety certification has been withdrawn. The vessel failed to meet minimum safety standards following an inspection by the Maritime and Coastguard agency and Lloyd’s surveyors.

Argus assisted distressed yachtsman

Mon Nov 20 11:14:25 CET 2017 Timsen

Royal Navy flight crews came to the aid of a British yachtsman stricken in rough seas in the Bay of Biscay on Nov 17, 2017. Wildcat helicopters from the 825 Naval Air Squadron scrambled to an SOS call from the yacht "Takita" after it lost its mast in a storm during a journey from the Azores, in the mid-Atlantic, to Britain. The crews circled three times in strong winds off the French coast before managing to spot the 30ft yacht, which had lost its radio transmitter but was still seaworthy. The sole yachtsman pulled alongside the RFA "Argus", , and the ship’s crew passed him jerrycans of fuel enough to allow him to reach Brest in France for repairs.

Fire in dry dock

Sat Sep 17 16:06:17 CEST 2016 Timsen

On Sep 17, 2016, a fire broke out aboard the "Argus" in Falmouth Docks at 10.20 a.m. Three fire engines went to the scene and staff from A&P were evacuated and waited outside away from the vessel which was under repair in the dry dock. The fire alarms were turned off after the fire crews started to arrive. One of the engines at the scene has come from Truro Fire Station. When they arrived, the fire was already out, and thermal cameras were used to search for remaining hot spots.
